Is it too strong even on low setting since I have sps now from the previous set up. I might later use it for my replacement upgrade.

Wp25 moved all the sand to one side in random flow in my 66. But that's cube - like. 30" wide.
Did they change the controls or can you still only adjust speed on wave 1? If not that's definitely something to keep in mind if your looking for functional flow.

If you want to use the random flow setting pick the size wp that's okay maxing out in your tank.

I'm thinking RW-15 and random flow is not my concern I'm just trying to keep my cyno hard to attach to my aquarium. I am upgrading to 120+ in a couple month after I save up so I'm trying to keep that in mind.

I guess you can use on lower settings. I have 2 of them in my 300g. On strong pulse it moves a lot of water, I'll probably need a 3rd pump though once it's filled in with coral. But that won't be for a long time.

So it should be fine by moving 2000gph on a 55g it a 48x18 36x fold I hear people moving up to 40x folds-100xfolds

Even wp25 is too strong, i had one for my 48x17x17 & blew sand everywhere plus i didnt like the flow settings. I have a mp10 now & moves a lot of water with better flow settings.

So I'm going with Jebao RW-20 since its low setting is 1000gph and that what I have at the moment. Thanks guys for the advice. If you think I'm making a mistake let me know. Thanks again.
