Best pump to buy

[Venzzla]

I would like to hear everyone thoughts on what would be the best pump for a 40 gallon breeder. I plan on a few beginner corals with an anemone in the tank. A light bio-load with a pair of clown fish, yellow blenny, and probably a diamond back goby. I lean towards an MP40, would one be enough? Also, is there a cheaper route to go that is just as good?

The Jebao OW series is very good! They have stepped up flow and quality.

Thanks I decided to go with the Jebao OW!

Two ow-10’s would be great in that size tank.

Have had no issues with the Jebao pumps..for the price I think they are good, controllable and solid units.

Yeah I didn't want to break the bank and go MP10, I went with one RW-4 and one RW-8.

I had read where they are quieter than the MP10 as well.

Post an update when you get them running. I am thinking of getting two of the OW for my 55 hex tank. Thinking the OW25.

Update. I like the pumps. However on the RW-8. I have it set at a lower speed. Even with the special grade arga live ! It is blowing sand a little so turned it down some. Tank is up and running. I’m super excited about this adventure. Now it’s chill and wait for cycle to do its thing.
