Circ. Pump vs Wavemaker

Mikesull415 · 01/08/2014, 10:57 PM

First off, much thanks to this awesome forum for showing me more things I want to spend money on.

I know our tanks need good flow to keep things stirred up and keep the fish happy. I've currently got a 56 gallon column tank (30" wide x 18" depth x 24" tall) with a hydor evolution 1050-1150 gph circulation pump. It works great and is absolutely silent.

What I'm looking at is the new Jebao WP-10 (or would a WP-25 be better?). it looks like it's rated right at 1050 gph. I've seen the videos and know the difference as far as what it does vs. the hydor. My questions is would it make enough of a difference in my sized tank.

I definitely thing using both would be WAY too much (eventually going to be mixed reef, few zoa's right now and fish, but want to add more corals) so between the two what would be the better option?

Thanks in advance

I'm at 3600GPH in my 75 gal mixed reef and everything is doing great. Although, with it being a column the flow standard for corals might be lessened.

If you can get MP10 , it will be better than WP10/25 . I have WP40 on my 125Gal tank. They are little bit noisy than the hydor. But so far, i'm happy with WP40, worth my money
