Jebao WP-25 pump location in tank for best flow?

hipertec · 11/07/2016, 06:14 PM

Just bought a Jebao WP25 wave pump for my 50G cube and this thing is strong.
I had to run it at less power so I think I have it dialed right.

I have a MP10 on the side of the tank, right in the middle. The WP25 will replace one of my back wall pumps, as I have 1 on the TOP Right corner and and the other CLOSER TO BOTTOM left corner of the back wall. Both pointing to the front middle tank.

Now the question is where should I place the WP25?
* Should I mount it closer to the top or to the bottom from the back wall?
* Is the back corner facing the middle front the best position for a wave pump?

OK- I just tested the WP25 and tried using "else" and "W1-W3" with S3 setting and this thing is still too strong in my 50G Cube tank.

Does anyone have this pump and what is the best setting to bring down the power?

How many pumps total? 3? Maybe you don't need this one.

I have the Jebao WP25 placed in the middle of the back of my 33 long. It's positioned to shoot up a little to ripple the surface. I have it on else mode, W2.

When I tested the WP25 in my 50G Cube, I only had Koralia 2 pump and the WP25 running. The WP25 as throwing sand around.

Do you know what is the lowest setting to use on this pump? Is it the ELSE mode and S3?
