Wp-25 or 40 on a 150 high tank?
Currently have 2 1200 koralias on timers, and 2 seio 820, with a mag 9 return. Want to eliminate some pumps and have better wave action. I have a few mushrooms and Xenia but the tank is only a few months old. I will put the Lps, softies and maybe some sps back into tank once it is has some more time to settle in. Would 2 25's or 1 40 be best?

2 pumps facing each other is always better than one its easier to eliminate dead spots and make it a more " random " flow pattern

I using 2 maxijets with the fan attachment (move lots of water), and 1 Koralia,
and 1 wp40 in my 125 Reef. While I think it's enough flow there, I plan to add another wp40 so that I'll have 2 in my 180 that will be completed soon. For a 150- IMO, I"d go with 2 wp40's, they some with a controller to throttrle them back, or numerous controllers also work. I think 2 x 25's aren''t enough.
