Powerhead Question

mluntz · 12/13/2013, 09:55 AM

I am currently running 2 Koralia 1150gph powerheads in my 46g bow. It's starting to seem like too much flow and I was considering taking one out for a trial.

I am also considering replacing them with a wp25. Would one be sufficient?

Opinions please?

yea the WP25 would be more then enough .. or just wait till the new year and get 2 WP10s that are getting ready to hit the market ..

heres a lil info on the WP10s ..
Size is 52mm x 62mm

Flow Rate for 4000Litres (Max)

one WP25 should be perfect for your tank im about to a order the same for my 36g bowfront you get ruffly around 1717gph-845gph or if you don't mind the look of extra pumps in your tank you can do what tmscube said and have two wp10s at around 1056gph-528gph just make sure you don't buy a wp40 like i did and end up buying twice wayyyyyy to much flow

I am getting ready to pull the plug on a WP25. Would one be more than sufficient for the tank? It looks like a great pump for the $$$.
