What are the dimensions of a 92gal, and what percentage of it's max flow should it be putting out at 15v?

My tank is 34x34x48 and 22" deep. Corner tank presents a whole new challenge not only for lighting but also with flow. The back corner is the hardest part to get any kind of water movement as most power heads are placed on each side near the front. The WP40 allows the pump to point in any direction or 360 degree. I was able to point one directly to the lower back of the tank and that was why all those detritus got stirred up.

Well I think if you can get away with 2 in a tank of those dimensions my 75 will be fine. I think I'll put one where my mp40 is blowing along the back wall, and put the other on the opposite side blowing across the front. Hopefully the tank doesn't turn into a tornado. Haha

Here is a short video of my 92g corner tank with two WP40s running at 24V. The one on left is in W1 mode and the one on right is in ELSE mode. I have not adjusted the control knobs to get maximum waves. I know I can easily get 2" waves in no time if I just play with the knobs a little.
The second video is running both pumps at 15V and also interrupted with time out from my RKE controller. This combination allows much gentler and random flow as there are times both pumps are completely off and there are times both pumps are on but with different flow pattern. I think between the 6 different modes, variable power supply and my RKE controller controlling length of time each pump is on, I can practically have unlimited flow patterns! You can run both videos at the same time to see the difference.

Well that pretty much sells it for me. At full tilt your LPS and softies don't seem to be struggling too much. As soon as I get the goo ahead from the wife (which shouldn't be too hard considering I'll make a profit off the deal) I'm going to order a couple.

Thanks Simon. Going to order mine this weekend.
Edit: Just ordered.

Sure did. Now which converter are you using?

WHAAAAAT! Sorry.
I just took out my two Vortech MP-40's and installed one of my two WP-40's on my 125 gallon 6ft tank. The one WP-40 is dead silent, and is making a wave that 2 MP-40's had trouble doing without making enough noise to hear across the room. My GSP on the other end of the tank is waving around like if I had a MP-40 installed next to it. This is unbelievable! I'll take a video of it tomorrow, but it is exactly like how Simon's tank is... no joke. The 2nd pump will be the pump I try to get working with an Apex. I'm very impressed, and my MP-40's are going to be up for sale tomorrow. The power supply I got from inside computer (90 volt) also goes down to 12v. It is probably the best option for speed control for these at $15 shipped, without using a controller. Wow, Wow, WOW! |

I bet you can sell those 2 Vortech MP40 for $700 easily!

So now you understand what Tunze users have known for a long time. The next mod should be a wider flow, and I bet there are people here who can do it.

I set my power supply down to 12v, and one pump is perfect for night mode on a 6ft 125 gallon tank. I didn't even hook up the resistor to automatically do it. No need, plus the controller is going inside my stand anyway. If I get it working with my Apex tomorrow, I will post a tutorial. You'll need a spare CAT5e ethernet cable, a 0-10v converter, and beginner soldering skills. |

So... for a 4x2 120g.... would one of these be good, or 2? From what I heard earlier, 2 would be brutal. If I pick these up, I want to buy one, or two, and that fulfill ALL my powerhead needs. I want as little as possible inside my tank equip wise.

I'm hoping by the time I finish cycling, the WP25 will be out. So I can compare the 2. I wont really need a powerhead for another month or so. Just about to order my dry rock and sand next week.

From what I've seen on here, people are comparing two MP40's to the equivalent of ONE WP40 and the WP40 making even better waves than 2 MP40's.

I've been looking for some inexpensive dc powerheads to replace my koralias...hopefully they will introduce 2nd generation modifications (namely adjustable flow rates and wide flow pattern) into the wp 25. I may be overly optimistic about these changes happening, but this option would make my wife a lot happier than me buying a pair of tunze 6095s.

I like that I'm getting back into the hobby NOW. 5 years ago when I was building a 90 you didn't have the chance to get cheap LED systems or powerheads like these.
Maybe a few years down the road this hobby will start to be manageable to newcomers who want more than a nano. |
