Wavemaker decision

[Raden]

Looking at 2 Jebao sow-8 or 2 coralbox qps-9 in my 75gal. Price is very similar but the coralbox box is slightly more. Coralbox looks like they have more settings to play with.

What's the better option between the two brands? I would like something that will last.

The general understanding is that Jebao, Jecod, Coral Box are all the same company with Coral Box being the premium product.

Thanks. In other words, spend the extra few bucks and go with Coral-Box then.

I've never used any of them so I couldn't say. This article suggests the design differences incorporated into Coral Box should make the pump last longer but it's a 5 yr old article.

The Coral Box Quiet Pump is a relatively new line wavemaker series notes that was designed in collaboration with German engineers, but appears to be very similar in design to the Jebao pumps.
