2 wp 25's or 1 wp40?

Suggestions for 75 gallon reef?

If you are looking for random flow then 2 wp25 bc it will give you more options with placement but if your looking for standing wave then 1 wp40, i dont think you can sync 2 together

Are these able to be controlled by with an apex or something like that

The 40 in a 75 is way too strong. I originally had my 40 in the 75g and put it into my 220. now My 220 has a 25 and a 40

I have two 25's in my 75g and they do very well.

Two is always better than one powerhead wise.

How about two wp40's? Overkill for that size tank?

 

[hoohoohdillyo]

Two WP40's will blow the seams! Lmao, I'd go with two 25's.

 

[CrazyEyes]

Yeah, two wp40's will probably blow water out of the tank. Here is two wp25s in a 75g.

Fish street has a twins controller for wp 25 and wp 40 but I think they are on backorder.

I think we should get a "group buy" together for the controllers. Even if it were just a few of us to split the shipping. I know I need one of the dual controllers.

I have A wp40 on a 75 and its great but I put a dimmer for leds on it so I can turn it down some. Works great. I think it depends on your rock work on which way I would go if I did it again. i have a wp25 on a 40b and I personally think just one is not enough. Then again its a BB tank and I cant get enough flow to keep the poo off the bottom

I am considering the same. Was the 40 too much running stock even dialed down?

I have two wp25s with the dual controller on my 75 and i run them at 50%. Work great for me.

2 wp25s all day.

I am not fan of these pumps, but that being said.

These pumps can be controlled with 1-5 vdc (20% to 100%).

There is a DIY thread somewhere not sure where I saw it.

They come with a controller - if you need the dimmer with the newer controllers the pump/tank matchup is awful.
