How do you like them?

I love the small size. They seem to move just as much water as the much bigger hydors. I would get them again.

Does anyone just run one wavemaker? Like one mp10 and that's it for flow?

i run just 1 wp10 in my 20g anemone tank and it is fine. Would add a 2nd if i filled it with sps. But one would be ok for softies/lps/a few sps.

I had a WP25 on my 40 breeder and it was a bit too powerful. It blew everything on it's path and turned my loose shrooms upside down and carried them like a whirlwind. It also create a bare patch on the sand. I have another wp25 on my 90 gal 3 ft tank and it's ok. I guess the problem was the 40 breeder is too shallow and putting a wp25 will create a lot of turbulence.

I have a WP-25 in my 40g breeder, and set on W1/S3 and directed upwards the flow is perfect! Unfortunately, it's the only setting that works well for that size of tank

If you do go with a WP-25 and you have an Apex controller, it may be good to have your Apex control it. You then can make it do whatever you want, I love controlling my 2 WP-25s with my Apex.
