Question of the Day

Does the WP25/40 being a wave maker powerhead move 100% of the water in a tank?

Ive always be of the belief that a tunze wavebox moves all the water in the tank eliminating dead spots.so i ask this because i have just installed a WP25 in my 75 gallon pico tank,in behind about 125 Lbs of rock,everything soft is moving gently and i have a standing wave of about 1/2 inch set on the lowest setting

Having used both I can say the jjebao works almost as well.. The wave box does get slightly more "back"  motion if u get what I mean.. But as far as dead spots I don't think your missing any with either choice.

Good question.  Not sure of the answer.  But I think that when you have a standing wave going, the surge caused by the wave "crash" causes water from the bottom to be pulled up - so yeah, it might actually move all the water, but might not turn it over at the same rate as a wavebox if you know what I mean..

like i mentioned,the pump is in behind all my rock and about 6 inches from the bottom and the wave and corals all moving so i assume the whole tank has to be in motion,i have a second jeabo im going to add to make up for the flow i had with the powerheads these are replacing

more flow more flow

these wp25 are about 2100GPH, so with 2 of them replacing the 2 aqueon 1650s ill be about 4800GPH

i didnt like just the wave for flow.. so i have 1 wp25 on wave and the other on progressively fast then slow for flow..

I am thinking this is the approach I'm going to take as well the wave mode even affects my sump  stirring up a lot of crap in there
