What size powerhead would you recommend for a 16 gallon cube. It has a sand bottom so I don't want a tsunami....

I prefer the Tunze because it is a better pump and they are a great company

Yeah I am not sure about the nano pumps, I have had to Hydors go to crap, but never a problem with the Tunze. You see in the review they have been fixed every time.
