JBJ28 tank circulation?

[ChrisL1976]

Besides spending a arm and leg for the awesome vortech MP10 system, what can us lower budget guys use for tank circulation with the included wavemaker?

I have been looking the koralia 425 or the 750?

Would one of either of these provide the right amount of flow put in the back corner of the tank?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'd go for the 750gph over the 425. Lot's of people use this setup around here if they don't want to swing for the MP10. I'm pretty sure you can't use them on the JBJ wavemaker without damaging them though (they arent meant to be cycled on and off), so the powerhead will be constant flow with the stock pumps alternating.

You know although I read on their website that the 750 can be used with wavemakers. On the flip side, you may have a point about it may not be good for them as I have read a number of reviews complaining they do start up in reverse part of the time when they are linked to a wavemaker
