i have 1-wp60 that i just purchased to add some extra flow to my 96x30x25. i use the wp60 to make a wave, it makes at least a 2" wave at 100% and fast pulse.
then i use 2-mp40's and 1 -mp60 to create random flow controlled with apex fusion.
i have to say to it has a lot of power. not quite as much the mp60 but close.

@marty9876 - I'm using a laminar gyre on my 300 DD (3 WP40 and 1 WP60); I'd recommend trying placing your WP60s two to an end, about 2/3rds of the way up from the bottom, at the 1/3 and 2/3 points. Try running them in alternating opposing patterns for about an hour each side, full constant speed. I'm using a Hydor wavemaker to control these.
This approach gets the entire aquarium volume moving in a gyre, lifting detritus up from the bottom and bringing it up to the top for removal. This also moves a substantial amount of water through the rock structure (I have a median reef, not a back wall, but this should work in pretty much any formation). Take a peek at the most recent issue of Coral magazine - they have a pretty good write up on flow and the reef aquarium, and provide much more detail than I have here.
These are turning out to be great, powerful, and quiet water movers.

I think FS is the best source. I have been following all the WP threads from their beginnings. Seems that FS is fantastic on warranty and customer service.---Rick
You can always get them individually and add the twins controller. If you don't like it you can fall back to the regular controllers. As the controller is pretty cheap.
But I think you will prefer the twins. I am planning to try the twins. I have two individual pumps now, as I got them before the twins. Like the idea of them working in tandem as well as only using 1 outlet for two pumps!
I am currently using 3 EB's 8's plus a few regular wall outlets on my system so consolidation would be nice.

I just ordered a 40 from the NJ warehouse. I'm going to open it up to see what's involved in controlling it with my Jarduino. Most everything over water is DC powered. I control all my lights, feeders, pumps, ect. through Jarduino and relays, so only PS cord for the 36v power supply running the whole thing. I delete all the 110v sides of devices.

I had a power supply burn out, but might have got wet...
Fish Street shipped me a new one.
Otherwise rock solid... I just wish night mode would work in pitch dark
Edit: Just bought GL5516 sensors on eBay for my 25s, 40s, and 60s. They are supposed to work in zero light and make night mode work. Guess we'll see

Did your pumps not come with the sensors? Mine did and order an extra which I can't find. :hmm5:
