I use two 404 mini-jets and a 606 mini-jet in my six gallon nano. Ultimatly, I want to pulse one of the 404's.

I , also use a 404 mini jet. It seems to be just fine. The only reason I got it, though, is because my LFS guy threw it in fer free.

If I had all of them at 100% flow it would be. I think I have the 606 at 50% and the 404's at 75%.

The 606 and a 404 oppose each other and there is a piece of LR in the middle, so the flow is diffused to either sides.

The second 404 pushes water width-wise around the tank.
