They are the DC12000. Serious power! But I am using a single DC12000 to replace my return pump, skimmer pump, and reactor manifold pump. I bought 2 just in case I can get this 360gallon acrylic tank up and running.
Rothgar, I told you you would have to have patience on those WP25 pumps. It only took 3 months and 4 days to get mine in.
What is amazing to think is I bought all these pumps for LESS THAN
the price of 2 new Ecotech MP40s. Once I sell this last MP40, I would have paid for it by selling my used equipment and have enough flow for a 240 gallon tank, 360 gallon tank, 40g breeder, and 75g frag tank.
OMG, if it takes 3 months for Rothgar to get his 25 he will have me publicly (okay forum-ly and facebook-ly) tried, tarred and feathered. I am already a little afraid to sleep without the lights on lest he try to break in and take the ones I have. Chris should probably be sure his alarm is set at night as Rothgar himself posted evidence above that he is about to come over the wall.
I guess that's going to depend on how overpowering the WP25 is. If we could get ChrisKey to give a report on a WP25 in a 20 gallon (either shape), that would be interesting.
I'd like to know about WP40's flow pattern. Does it have a very wide flow like MP40? I see some people are already modifying them for a wider, gentler flow. My big old Koralia has a very strong flow, but it tends to be more concentrated jets in two or three directions. One nice thing about MP40 is that I can set it pretty close to SPS's without stripping their tissues. What are their noise level?
Tomoko. I have had a pair of hem on my 180. Their flow is wider than a koralia but not as wide as a mp40. The have good peneteation easily effecting the currents on the opposite end of my 180. I love mine. Have not had any issues since April.
