Here's that little gizmo I could not remember. http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_wavemakers_scwd_squid.asp?CartId=
As far pumps.... get one that is not noisy and does not use loads of electricity. My mag pump is noisy, I won't be using another one. An external transfers less heat into your tank, which is a plus. You might check out pan world and reeflow to start. Others may have some great suggestions on good pumps. The reeflow dart seems to be a good closed loop pump, but may blow away everything in a 46 gallon.
