Flow for a 20 long

[saltyfilmfolks]

Ok so if the one I'm looking at is 530gph I should just point it up higher and have my 240 on the other side if the tank??

yup.

At 530gph, I wouldn't add anything else

where the two stream meet, its turbulance

I had a 240 and a 420 in my 12g. Useless powerheads

lol. in my 30 long i had 2 450 and 1 240 and a hob aqua clear. brilliant

How many gph is the pp4

Adjustable. 100-1000gph. I run both at "two or three lights" which I'm guessing is 20%-30% but can't confirm. Flow is great, and you get a pulse wave in W1 mode. great buy. Really happy with the two I have

Could have been my aquascaping that limited flow? I have the 420 now in my 1st stage inlet pushing water down vertically to my chaeto (with jbj nano glow on back)

I'll upload a vid in one sec to show. I do have minimal scape in this one. Haven't fully decided which route to go with it yet.

dunno.
I had 4 sources of flow. and set it in a basic raceway. with the main behind the rocks.

IMO, the Jeboa is worth the risk for $42 on amazon. Don't like it, return it. I had two hydor 850s before and I use so much less flow more now, but it's the flow I want.

 

[stickman87]

Ok I'll give it a try

I just returned my Hydor wavemaker unit to amazon. hassle free

great example

That is at 2 lights and minimal scaping. I can see benefit of 2 if more rockwork and more demanding coral.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

the 20 was my first tank the 30 my second and ran for 3.5 years. I learned a lot there and alwasy had too much rock.

Yall should check out that ebay seller. Best deals ive found. sells head only controller only too.

My two are behind most of my aquascaping, making it so my coral isn't getting blown all over, but enough to not let detritus settle. I am thinking about a sea fan in the back to fill in the space, and they love high flow

 

[stickman87]

That's pretty good flow which ones do you have again?

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Me? Jebao PP4 (X1)

That's pretty good flow which ones do you have again?

 

[stickman87]

Ok that's the one I'll get I was reading in it and u like that it goes from 100-1000 gph so I can pick where I want it

 

[stickman87]

Should I put my other one I have running behind the rocks to get flow in the back too?
