I guess if we need help spelling we can always ask Arvind Mahankali for help :D

I seen someones tank that they were running 2xwp40s on a standard 125 full throttle and no problems with his mixed reef. I have 2xmag 8s in my 220 running about 80%. so I wouldn't be worried about running 2xwp40s in their. but don't wanna throw this thread off track. like I said. future planning of a 120. and since im tryin to piece together that system. I think ill be goin wit two of the wp25s instead of some koralias on that tank...

I am sure it can be done, just finding the correct placement for the pumps is the tricky part to keep all the corals happy.
 
I'm looking forward to them showing up, a friend of mine brought up a good question that I haven't seen anyone else ask though. These pumps are putting out alot of movement so has anyone thought of the effects this could have on the tank and the seals? I found it an interesting question.

Unless you get them synced up and create big waves, i think the effect on the tank will be pretty meaningless. But, a big wave will empty the tank over the top pretty easily... and then it loses much of its force (losing mass), so it probably won't really hurt much even then. What could happen, if you had splash guards to keep the water in, with a big wave is the tank will start to walk (but these would have to be pretty big waves). That could lead to it moving enough to either fall off a stand or overhang enough to break the bottom.

A dump bucket wave maker will have much more of an impact on a tank, since the volume of water itself isn't being moved around the tank, but added and removed from it. Plus the impact is much greater with a big drop.

For a propeller to push hard enough to break its opposing wall it would probably have to break the wall its attached to as well (equal and opposite forces). I don't think even a MP60 would cause any issues in a 20 long in random flow. Probably wouldn't keep all the water though.

I'd have to disagree with this one. Think about what's happening. You are shifting the entire water column back and fourth.. That's a lot of weight/force applied to the seams.. Most tanks are not engineered for movement like that at all.. Actually manufacturers(ecotech) put a warning in with their wave pumps stating that FWIW
 
well the seams are whats important just thought I would mention something as that was one thing I didn't think of before. either way we won't know till the new controller shows up at..... time will tell I guess :)
 
Wavemakers have been around for many years but I don't remember reading many tank failures due to wave making. Anyone aware of any statistics on this or actually had experience with such disaster?

I actually asked that to ecotech and they said it has been documented before and to be cautious on older tanks so you should ask the maker of any tank if it can handle it and he said he felt rimless could more susceptible to stress than a tank with a rim.

Me personally I don't know anyone or read anything I just heard from them about It after I read it in the manual.. I guess nowadays tanks are built thicker and have a higher tolerance to stress than older thin walled ones do.. Those are his words not mine lol..

That being said I own quite a few MP10's and I don't run them for long periods in short pulse cause my tank is almost 14 gears old and I'm not ready to have it bust a seam lol . that warning and conversation stuck with me ha ha . Honestly even with my new tank that's euro braced I'm not gonna leave them running where they are synced to create a wave with the 2 wp40.. I'm going to use the reef angel to make sure that the wave never happens on nutrient transport mode or any other mode it's going to cycle through..
 
I'm with Gorgok on this one. I've never heard of anybody ever saying that their tank failed due to a wave maker pump. I think Eco Tech is just CYA with their 'be careful' stance. Don't get me wrong here, it makes perfect sense for them as a manufacturer of a wave making pump. I would too. But I think it's more likely your tank will be struck by lightning or attacked by a shark before it breaks apart due to a wave maker pump! :lmao:

Lol. I warned the kids to watch out for the sharks
 
Just thought I would share..

I am super impressed with a few things...

First the size is great... very small especially for so much power..

My tank is a 57 gallon rimless tank 36x18x20... I turned the pump on full power and it blew water over the edge on the opposite side!! I am currently running it on ELSE mode (similar to reefcrest, varying speed etc)... i have a dimmer that I am using to operate the pump at about 50% and it's awesome..

The amount of gunk and detrius that was pulled from my rocks was great... I am going to use the high.mode occasionally to stir stuff up...

Again limited time with pump but do far very impressed

Here are a few quick pics... I will take some in tank pics and a video today to.post....

Glad you are enjoying the pump.
I told you it was powerful.

You got a nice tank there.

I embedded the video for you so it's easier for people to see.

well my led dimmers finally came in so I am thinking about putting in the 2nd wp25 again and turning them both down a little. 1 is working just fine but I would rather have flow comming from both sides of the tank.
