Well SPS needs way more flow than a softie tank.
Vortech
Tunze
Jebaeo

Anything else is a waste of money especially those zapping Hydor crap.

I go for mass water flow in a SPS tank, I don't think I could have ever achieved the flow I had in my 92 gal with wave makers, I think by the end I was up to almost 170X turnover rate.

You should give some WP40/60s a try....maybe you will change your mind ;)

I've always had Vortechs and I now have Tunzes.
Someone posted that they were having a hard time synching the WPs together. Is this true? For the price of these pumps they look pretty sweet.

Google "JEBAO TWINS LINKAGE CONTROLLER". I think this may work :) (can't post the link directly since that would violet the rule of this forum).

Hmm. It looks like that'll do the trick. Since Concept sells the pumps now maybe Denny can post something on their forum:wink: pretty sure it won't be violating any rules

Yah once they start bringing them in. :smile: Need to add a wp25 and this controller (maybe even swap the wp40 to 25 and add a 2nd one) to the tank but will have to wait; the light stripped me off my savings.

I've had a wave maker from day one of my tank of 4.5 years. I love it, especially the fact that my wave box is external

Plus 1 I liked it so much when we saw it copied his idea, have the 2 external wave boxes. Altho I love flow so I supplemented with a 3 rd wave box pump and 4 mp 40

Never enough flow I think.
