I just upgraded my nuvo 40 to a standard 60 cube. i have a nero 5 currently i have always ran it in wave mode at 30% power. i increased the power a little and im not getting the flow im used to. does anyone have a jebao cross flow on a cube style tank with similar specs to a standard 60 cube. with the 40 cube i got a nice strong flow up top with acros and a nice gentle flow in most other area.
jebao cross flow?

As you already know, cubes can be a pita with flow. Got any pics of your tank?
I tried several different ways including a gyre on my 50g cube, ended up with two different powerheads on the back wall with anti sync mode (mp40's). Used to have a pair of nero 5's and did much the same as well.
Yellow notes powerhead placement.

Before I went sps dominant, it was fine just for flow. Now I realize the sps wants a bit more turbulent flow so I felt that with my rockwork what I'm doing works well.

What's the noise level so far?
I've had the jebao on board since November and has been dead silent. I'm running it on the lowest setting though. It would be way too much flow more than 50%. I had a nero 5 that I just changed to a mp40 because I was sick of the wire inside the tank. Mp40 is also running very low speed. I run full syphon on my tank. So the only thing I can hear is the skimmer venturi.
when i had just the gyre on it created a ton of flow across the top down the opposite side and across the bottom. but there was virtually no polyp movement in corals placed in the center of the rock. even increasing the flow created too much flow across the top and bottom and still no flow in those areas. you can angle the the impellers though. but for how my tank was set up it caused too much flow in areas i needed lower flow. i think especially for the cube id do a cone type wavemaker on the opposite side of the gyre so help create better flow. could do one of their knock off neros?

Many people do not know how efficient these are. Have you considered a sea sweep with your choice of powerhead.
Although pricey they are the best option available today for random flow pattern, imo.
Also no wires in th tank except for the powerhead and it runs through the sweep.

pretty cool concept on these pumps. price tag is similar to all the major competitors.Many people do not know how efficient these are. Have you considered a sea sweep with your choice of powerhead.
