Where do you have the pumps placed? I have my best luck with them on the back wall near the top and angled towards the center and slightly up. I am able to run mine at 45% with very little sand disturbance.

So even at 20% its crazy strong. That's what I was afraid of. I am looking for a mixed reef. Will be great for SPS though... Neptune replied to me that the never thought of the two much flow problem. They said that they were considering making something smaller. Waiting for my apex to ship. Really excited to be back in this hobby. What skimmer are you using???

As of now nothing still researching which One to get
Place them on the back wall inverted a bit and pointed upwards. Also you most likely need to play around with the placement and flow a bit. What are the dimensions of your tank?

I used to have a par of wav pumps on my old 90 gal and I ended up selling them and using 2 MP 40’s
The wav pumps were way to strong and large in size. I tried every location possible including the back of the tank
But when you mount them on the back of the tank you have to leave the area in front of the pumps opened. This
takes too much of my display area away from me. I can also turn down my MP 40’s a lot further than I could the Wav pumps.
My MP 40’s also have a wide gentle flow pattern to them compared to the wav pumps
If you do place the pumps upward make sure you set a delay in the apex outlet you are using for the wav pump.
If not, you will have a lot of water shooting up when you turn on your system. I set my pumps to a 30 second delay
from the main pump outlet to make sure the tanks water level has time to come up before the wav pumps start up.
