Help me choose the right powerheads...

[STLTim]

Currently I have 2 MaxiJet 1200 in my 93 cube and hate them.
I would like to get some jebao wavemakers but am not sure which to get.

Should I get two rw-15 or would two rw-8 be enough? I will likely not have much for any SPS in my aquarium and will mostly be Polyps, softies, and a couple lps.

I'm thinking rw-15 but is that too much?

I'm pretty sure that all you would need is 2 rw-8s.

Just my opinion but I would go with (2) rw-8's. I have the rw-15 in a standard 90 and it moves a ton of water. If I were to turn it on constant at full power it would take all the sand on the other end of the tank and pile it up under the head. I know you can turn down the dc power heads but the problem is that you can only turn down the flow on particular settings. For example if you run the random or variable flow program you can not turn down the speed of the power head it will blow full power at times. I think you would be happier with the two rw-8's especially because you have a cube and you are not doing a lot of sps.

If you would like to see the rw-15 first hand you would be more than welcome to swing by and check it out.

The jebao pumps can be ran on an apex also for future upgrades. I'm going to run 4 to 6 of them on my 300dd
