Neptune WAV longer tank

[Fishyfish22]

I cant find much info on it, how do you guys think the Neptune WAV would work on a longer tank, 240 gallon tank 8' wide

And what positioning would you use for it?

Bump

Bump?

Kind of a vague question .... perhaps why no responses. Early WAV models had an annoying propensity to short. Seems largely fixed now. One would certainly not be enough for an eight foot tank.

I have 2 new ones I'm planning to use on an 8 foot tank, would that be enough or should I get two more? It's a peninsula type tank with overflow on one end, 30" deep 24" tall

These pumps are powerful and i have one in 10 foot tank and it makes it right across.
I use the Malibu setting

I have two in my 10 ft tank and they flow all the way across.

Are these on their highest setting?

No - highest I have it during day is 42%. They are strong

Dunno … what kind of tank are you planning? FOWLR, two would be enough; SPS probably not enough.

If you have 2 already, throw em in and try it. you can always order more.

Mixed reef leaning towards SPS

I want to but I'm upgrading from a 180 to a 300, and I'm at the point where I'm gathering equipment for the build, I don't even have the apex set up yet because I'm debating setting it up on the current build or starting fresh with the new one, and you need the apex to test the wavs. Thoughts?

 

[nezw0001]

mine peak out at 100% but aren't there very long. Seems to produce good flow but this is a FOWLR tank. If a reef tank with high flow needs I would add two more.

I have an 8’ tank with a WAV at the Bulkhead and another at the end on the opposite side creating a seemingly “circular” flow.
Seems to be plenty of flow.

Do you think these would keep a bare bottom clean of debris on a 10 ft?

 

[nezw0001]

Mine create bare spots in the substrate.

 

[Fishyfish22]

They're very powerful, and I max mine at 50% to keep them from blowing sand everywhere

As stated, they are extremely powerful.....when they are clean. These pumps, more than any other I have tried require frequent cleanings or they lose power quickly. I am currently using two along with two MP40s in my reef tank.
