    Can I put a Jebao rw-4 on a 10 gallon tank?
    Currently I have a Hydor Koralia nano 240 and reduced flow from an AquaClear 110 filter
    I just wanted to have a little random flow for my corals.
    Or should i just stick with this setup?
    Thanks

    An rw4 would be enough for your whole tank. Do you feel you habe good flow in there now for your corals

    Right now yes. I have a pretty good flow.

    Is your powerhead on the opposite side of your filter? If not maybe you could do that to get a random flow

    The flow on the filter goes from front to back while the powerhead goes from left side to the right back corner.

    +1 on the rw-4 for your 10g. And @Armydog@Armydog is right too with placing the powerhead on the opposite side of your filter. With the speed adjustments and flow pattern selections you should be able to find a setting that you and your corals will like.

    I run two rw-4's in a standard 20g and that's along with my return too. Granted one rw is turned way up and the other is turned down but it gives a great random flow.

    What do you mean by opposite side? On the back glass?

    No put the filter so it exits on the left side back.... the the powerhead on the right side glass... which will add a different flow pattern

    That is just an example
