Circulation Question

[Troy]

I need a budget friendly option for circulation pumps. This is the largest tank I have owned as well as the tallest. 110G 48Lx18Wx24H.

How much movement do I require?

For placement I am going to assume that I have one on either end of the tank pushing the water up towards the front of the glass.


I have significant rock work along the back with several caves. I want to eliminate as much dead space as possible. As this is a school learning environment, the children assisted in the the rock setup. They insisted in adding a bridges (I will post pics in the build forum). The expected future of this tank will be a mixed reef with predominately soft corals.

jebao is a good option. couple wp 25 would prolly work well

coral box programmable pumps, jaebo also. Thats what I use.
No issues.

I like the Jebao ow-25 I picked up. Powerful and I don’t even hear it. Also a big fan of koralia. Have used those forever and have never been disappointed. You don’t need anything fancy. Some of the cheap amazon sunsuns are likely good enough

I have the same size aquarium mixed reef aswell. I have 3 Jebao sw-8 (flow rate up to 8000 l/h) on my aquarium. Jabeo has a sw-15 which is more powerful(up to 13000 l/h). 2 of the sw15 would be best since I feel I could use another sw-8 on my aquarium. I might just get a sw-15 and keep a sw-8 as back up. I had lots of Koralia's in the past and I will never go back to them. I've had stray voltage a few times and they break down to fast. The Jebao's have been working great and their very quite.

I really really like my Gyre, ill never use wave makers again after experiencing one of these first hand. The Glamorca line is well priced and quality kit.

FWIW the jebo crossflows work well.

I have also had stray voltage issues with Hydors. There will be children working with the tank, don't need them to get shocked when cleaning or testing the tank.

I have read the Gyre reviews, all positive of course (there must be a google tool that removes all negative reviews). Problem being my recent experiences with Maxspect is not great, the listed GPH vs actual is something to be desired. I also have a significant rock wall. I don't think one pump will cut it. I am then looking at $500 for the Gyre with 2 units vs $250 for the Coralbox or Jeabos.
