I am thinking about adding a Jebao wp 60 to my 220. It is a 6' x 24"x 30" tank. I have 3 mp 40's in there right now and all run at about 90% right now. I was thinking that I would put 2 of the 40's on one side and the wp 60 on the other side. I have a few LPS in the tank and a lot of SpS. Do you think it would be too much flow for the tank? ------------- 220g , large elite aquatics sump. 3 Radion Pro Gen 3 lights 3 Mp 40's |

Maybe, but then you just turn them down a bit, right? Are you running them off your tank controller or the Jebao controller? Fat |

I think the WP60's are too strong on the lowest setting in my 8 foot tank. I wish I had got the WP40's. I'm going to get rid of mine and get MP60's down the road. You'll see what I mean when you come to my home next week.

the Vortech pumps will run off of my apex. I was thinking of leaving the Jebao on the jebao contrller at first. I have seen that it is not that hard to set it up on for the apex. Yeah I was thinking that I would be able to turn them all down to get better life out of all the pumps. ------------- 220g , large elite aquatics sump. 3 Radion Pro Gen 3 lights 3 Mp 40's |

This is what I did so of course you should too.  keep a mp 40 on each side. Add a wp25 next to the mp40. Then run two wp25 in the back right and left corners for the back of the tank. I ran wp10s on the back of mine but your tank is deeper front to back. WP's set on full wave mode. MP40s set on random or wave. Your preference. I run my right mp40 on wave and my left on random. Both on full power. I have a nice wave going and other random flow with it. ------------- 150 gal reef with 50 gal sump. Reef Octopus DCS-200 Skimmer. AI Sol Blues. |

Why so many pumps? I've got two MP60's on our 265 running around 65% which is plenty of flow throughout the entire tank. I will adjust them up to full power from time to time when blowing at the rocks and such. ------------- A government strong enough to give you everything you want, is powerful enough to take everything you have. |

It's possible that your idea of plenty of flow and mine are different? Two MP40's at full power provide no where near the flow that I wanted in my tank. The WP's are small and not intrusive. Great supplemental flow/wave action. The MP's have a much wider flow pattern to compliment the WP's. ------------- 150 gal reef with 50 gal sump. Reef Octopus DCS-200 Skimmer. AI Sol Blues. |

That is a little bit of my problem right now. If I turn the 3 mp 40's up to 100% they are not doing a very good job of blowing off the rocks. I do have a lot of rock in my system and that does seem to break up the flow. The 3 40's just don't seem to have enough flow to really blow the rocks off. Right now I need to blow all my rock off with a baster a couple times a week and I do seem to have some pretty big low flow spots. I'm hoping that adding the wp 60 to one side of the tank and the 2 mp40's to the other side I will have the same type of flow as 2 60's. ------------- 220g , large elite aquatics sump. 3 Radion Pro Gen 3 lights 3 Mp 40's |
