help with flow

[CoralBeautyII]

I have a maxijet 105 gph with the nozzle pointed up towards the surface.
I think its creating too much flow for my pair of 2" seahorses.
One of the seahorses keeps getting cought in the current and is whipped around a bit. He does settle and hitch on to something but then he goes and floats around again.
For the record, they both did eat frozen mysis.

Can i take the power head out? The only other source of flow would be coming from a small whisper hob filter, it doesnt really create any currents in the tank.
The tank is only 10 gallons so theres not much room to get away from the current, so im thinking if i should just remove the maxijet all together??

Yes, you can remove the maxijet, they should be fine. If you want to create a little bit of current, you could add some of the micro powerheads via aqua makes. In such a small space though, I don't think its necessary.
