    Ok to start I am NOT opeing a debate on which is the better powerhead.





    I am setting up a new 60 Gal Cube , knowing from my reading I should have at least 1200 gph of flow in my tank, so should I be running one big 1200 gph power head or 2 750 gph with a wave maker type of setup?





    Or something else I am not realizing.





    Also has anyone seen a Jabeo w40 pump in person?





    thanks in advance.

    One MP10 dead center on your back glass. About $225

    I just set up my 60 cube, and have 1 mp10 on the back glass. It seems to be just right for the tank. I am interested in trying a wp25 when they come out.

    Two smaller ones would def be better then one big one. More currents and random flows.

    Well I knew the mp's would come out but honestly if you check their web site an MP10 is not the right PH for that tank, that is if you want to do anything besides LPS if you want sPS it isn't recommended, also the glass is too thick for an mp10 you owuld need to shoot to an mp40 and at 435 or so retail I'll pass at this time can;t afford it.


    and third....I just don't have that kind of coin and I do have a wave controller already and would like to utilize it in the new tank.

    I have three mp 10 wireless synced randomly on my 60 cube. I have one located high right on back 1 located low left on back and one located middle on right side of tank. I would actually like to get one more to even out the flow.
