Like to know if I should go with 1 or 2 Jaebo SOW-4 in a 40 gal. Breeder tank? I have a Rio 2100 return pump going at about 350-400 gph. I will be keeping soft corals and maxi mini anemones and 4 fish that will be clowns, dottyback, dwarf angel and hawkfish. Maybe 1 or 2 lps. I don't have any experience with wavemakes pump. All I've ever use was 2 hydor koralia 550 gph circulation pumps.
 
I use two OW -25's which are equivalent to the SOW-8's in my 40B. I tried 2 of the smaller ones equivalent to the SOW-4 and I was not pleased with the flow. They move water but can't push it 3 feet and I had them on both ends alternating flow. I have since replaced them with the larger OW-25's which are set on the highest flow, alternating mode, placed on both ends of the tank and in my opinion the flow is suitable for a mixed reef now.
