jebao size and placement?

imb3289 · 11/21/2014, 02:18 AM

I have a 155 gallon bow front that currently has a wp40 on it. Is this enough for my 6 foot tank? Should I get 2 wp40s with the dual controller or just buy a wp60? Also, where should I place it in my tank? Thank you. I plan on keeping a variety of coral in it.

I have a 60 and a 40 on mine, I am going to upgrade the 40 to a 60 next month as I feel that the 40 just doesn't have the same width of flow, I have mine at opposite ends adjacent to each other, I certainly can get a wave going if I need to.

you should check out the RW-XX pumps... 2x RW-8's are plenty for my 4'x2'x2' 120g.

Anything over 70% and sand is everywhere... also the controllers give you 4 different "wave/pulse" options.

Just a thought.

Yes, you need at least one more wp40, I had two wp40's on my 75 gal tank, so just one on the 155 is not enough IMO. But as suggested look at the RW series, I just replaced the wp40's with two RW15's and I am much happier.

Thank you for the responses. Would I need to get 2 of the rw's? Also, where is the best placement for them?

I made a video for another fella on the forum of the rw 15 on my 120

It's a really powerful pump

Do you just have one hooked up or 2?

Just one. If you're going with two get the 8's. two 15's will be way too much
