BearishCat Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 HI all, Should i be getting 1 x WP40 for my 3x2x2 rimless tank? or 2 x WP25? I was watching some videos on youtube and the wave is pretty scary, don't know if it will spill out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member kenyee Posted January 23, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted January 23, 2014 bro, I would suggest to get wp25 for ur tank as the size of wp40 is bigger alot and so will eat up a bit of the space in ur tank.. its better to get 2 wavemakers than 1 (backup and also more coverage).. u can try 1 wp25 1st..something to ask, ur return 3000lph flow good?..coz in my view, its abit weak (in view of headloss) happy reefing Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like 2 x WP25 is better then. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching some videos on youtube and the wave is pretty scary, don't know if it will spill out. Thanks!my opinion is does a single wp40 consumes the same area as a wp40. I just feel the less pump footprint in the tank then better Quote Tank size:36"x36"x24" Return pump" 2x Reef Octo 5000 Skimmer:BK Double Cone 200 on Reef Octopus DC 5500s.
