Jebao CP-90 vs CP-120 for Reefer 250

[simonfchr]

Hello. I have a Red Sea Reefer 250 and cant determine which Jabao CP i should get. I would like to buy the CP-120 to be safe and use it on low-medium speed, but im afraid its lowest flow is too much for a 90 cm long tank? (It is rated at 17500 L/hour, whereas CP-90 is rated at 12500 L/hour) I want to use the classic controller, not the wifi aqlink one. Does anyone have any experience with this? I want to use it as the only pump in the tank and place it on the sidewall. Maybe have a small powerhead in the opposite side to avoid any dead flow.

I would go with the larger. I’m sure it will be fine. I wonder how these stack against the icecap gyres

Okay, ill try to go with that thank you. You dont think the lowest setting (10500 L/hour) is too much in a 250 liter tank?

Flow requirements will be based on what you intend to keep and rock work.
