Flow Issue WP-10

Greengny · Jul 22, 2015

Having a bit of trouble getting adequate flow from the front of my 93 Cube towards the back. In general I have plenty of flow in the tank with a GYRE and an WP-40 on the back wall and side.

Logically, the GYRE should be creating a flow from front to back with its reversing GYRE option but maybe due to my angled "mountain-side" rock structure it's not working as planned.

Was thinking of hiding an WP-10 in the rock work near the front of the tank to get the flow I'm looking for. The WP-10 will sit among the rocks rather then being attached to a wall with the magnet.

Think this will work? Thanks J

Can't tell you how it will work as each powerhead pushing water will effect another one but the RW series offers a more spread out flow then the WP series.

Didn't know about the RW series. Thanks. My only concern is having the pump siting in the rocks as opposed to the magnet on the glass.

As Eric3316 mentioned, when Jaebo released the RW series it came with a design change. Basically larger slots in the sides and a more squished/less stretched appearance. The result was a much wider flow pattern then what they had before and they really seem to work well. After I got my first RW, I swapped out all my WPs and I don't regret it.
