Wp-40 or wp-25 on 60 gallon cube?

[markl]

Trying to figure out if I should use two wp10s

1or two wp25 or 1 wp40 power head on my 60g cube 2ftx2ftx2ft

It will be a mixed reef mostly Lps and sps

I have two Wp 40s on my 65 turned down to about half so I can have a back and forth flow. I have not used the Wp 25 but I would imagine it would work great at full power. I personally wanted the overhead so I could adjust.

10 or 25 gets my vote

Read a thread on another forum today of someone who was using a wp25 and spilling water over the edge at 50%. Just an FYI.

I'd say a WP25. I have 2 on my 90g and are great. I actually turn one off at night.

I run a 25 on my 60 cube and get very good flow through out the tank.

One 25 on a 60 cube should work. I have a 25 and eco MP10 on my 2x4 tank.

I had a 40 on there and even at lowest setting i could not keep the sand from blowing around.

Sooooo I guess I should change to something less powerful. I guess they will work great in the empty 120 I have sitting in the basement.
