Jaebo wave maker question?

[Reefplumber13]

What would be a good one for a 40 breeder? I have one already but I'm getting mixed answers on if it will be ok..

Depends on if you're after the RW or the WP. In the WP...a WP-25 should do fine. In the RW...probably an RW-8 turned all the way up.

Lol I got that rw15 from the buy and everyone is saying it's going to be too much even on the lowest setting. Your thoughts?

 

[cment]

Ill say this, I have an RW8 on a 30g frag tank and cant set it higher than 3. I think an RW15 may be too much for 40 breeder but only one way to really find out....

 

[Reefplumber13]

Well that sucks

I tried to warn everyone these are way underrated based on reviews I read. I ended up with a RW15 and a RW8 on my 120 and I really wish I had gone with 2 8s.

 

[Reefplumber13]

So I should go with a 4?
I was trying to go with something so when I upgrade again I can still use it lol

JT....stick with 8's. You may have to run them on a lower setting now but then you'll be fine at an upgrade. I run 2 RW-15's on a 180 but I have them turned all the way up. I tried the RW-20's and they were to much even on the first setting. There's a difference between each of them instead of them lapping over each other. If you go with 4's...I think you'll be unhappy about it long term.

I sent you a message, but I will do the same thing I did with BBrown. Swap a RW-8 for your RW-15 plus give you the difference. All we swapped was the actual powerhead too. Keep the controller and power cord. Let me know.

I had a 30 gallon and the wp10 was more than enough u could def be fine with one wp25 buddy without a doubt!

Didn't people used to be concerned with wave making and the long term structural effect on their tanks?

I'm hoping someone will want to trade a 8 and a 4 for mine lol.. I doubt it but who knows
