60 cube - two WP-25's or one WP25 and one koralia

I like a lot of flow, and I was initially leaning two WP25's. But I thought that it may be better and more predictable for setting up the flow if I run one standard stream style pump like a koralia and one WP25 to generate the motion.

Thoughts?

If I'm not mistaken a WP25 can be set to a steady non variable flow.

Two of those would be insane. I have one on a 180 gallon and it's not up all of the way.

I have a wp25 on my 60 cube and it is too powerful. spills water over the sides. I'd go for the wp10. i'm switching it myself.

Yea, I know I would have to dial down the 25's significantly, but that's not a big deal. I run barebottom, and would like the ability to crank the flow and create storms for cleaning. I also think the wider pattern of the 25 over the 10 might be nice. So again I'm leaning a pair of 25's dialed back. decisions decisions...

It spills over the edge on s3 50%

I would not recommend this pump for a 24" tank.
