New pump question for the rw 15

Kona26 · 02/07/2015, 09:21 PM

Hello so I just installed 2 rw 15 in my tank and am wounds ring if I can get some info on where to place them. I know it depends on tank and all but wanted to see what other people have done right now I have one on the back wall on the left and the back wall on the right. Also is there a break in period for these pumps ? I have read the some people have had to run their pumps at 60% for about 2 weeks. Should I put them at either end of the tank or something else ? Also what is a good setting to keep these at. Sorry for all the questions thanks here's my tank nowImageUploadedByTapatalk1423365664.209206.jpg

Your placement looks pretty good to me. Is there something your trying to improve?

Personally I would play with the settings more than trying to change the placement....but there is a lot of personal preference there. I personally like counter sync with longer pulses more than what your currently doing, I feel like it keeps things suspended more.

trying to improve the flow...these are the first programmable pumps I have owned. just trying to get some info on them. I had 1 korila pump and my return lines for flow before. I have looked on other forums and people are trying to get a 40x or 60x the flow rate in a tank. I don't have much to go off of at this point. don't know anyone that has a tank to look at and check out.
