I'm running 2 rw8 and a jebao dct 4000 return pump in my 40. Fixing to add a third rw8 in a few days. I'm running all the pumps full blast on continuous and I can't seem to get the flow I want.

I have a couple of Jecod WPs and RWs and it is hard to beat their price for what they offer.
However, the build quality is lower than Tunze. I have a Tunze that is around 6y old and pumps pretty much the same as new.
On the other hand, all my RWs and WPs lost around 30% of their power, after the 1.5y mark and vinegar bath doesn't bring it back to the power of a brand new.
Also, two RW controllers blew up in the 1y mark. Finally, the "semaphore mode" seems to deteriorate the pumps a lot quicker than the other modes.

Ive had 2 rw 15 in my 48x24x26 130g for a year and half now that i run full power between else mode and w1. Along with dct8000 and dct12000 pumps and dp4 doser. No problems with a single pc of jebao equipment. Also have a wp25 in my fuge 2 years old.

If u are getting a Jebao , make sure u get the pp-15, pp-8, models, they are the newest with the new magnet holder, same low price, I bought two pp-8 for $126 from eBay to replace two mp-10's, much quieter and much stronger for half the price of one new mp-10, I think they came from saltwater aquarium.com actually!

I have 2 PP8s and an RW4 in my 4x2x2 120. All on full blast H mode. It's a hurricane of water movement. Made very little noise the first few days but they quiet down. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I have 2 RW- 8 on my 65 and I leave them on full power else mode. Very little settles on the bottom, I get good surface agitation and my sps all love it. I am getting better growth from all of my corals since switching from my Hydors.
