Jebao power heads

[elishapep]

I was going to get 2 of the rw 15 for my 120 .. I have 2 koralia .. Any input .. The reviews seem very good .

Theyre really strong, you'd only have them on the 2/3 "dot"
If you want to tune them down a lot just put them on a battery back up like the one they make and it'll drastically reduce the power
If you want to go with Jebao I would consider their CP40
you can do one at its highest setting or two really low

RW-15 are really strong. Had one on my 75 and only ran it on the lowest setting, anything more than that would make my sand go crazy. RW-8s would be better IMO.

I had 2 RW-8s and they were good pumps, powerful. Stayed reliable and were very quiet. Hard to beat for sync'd pumps.

I have 2 RW-15's on my 150. I have them controlled on my apex to run at 35% for half the day, and 50% the other half.

In a 75 theyre too much but not in a 150

I have 2 korellia 1250 and it is not that strong .. Are they slot stronger? I have mostly sps .. So Iam also thinking as the corals grow going to need stronger flow..

Everyone that doesnt own a jebao says theyre subpar but in reality theyre not that bad. In fact, theyre super strong and IMO have worked much better for me than Koralias ever did. I the case of power, durability and general controllability.

So I should just get them ...for the price they seem pretty good .. The next jump up in price is about double of what these cost .. Or I could get the max spect 150gyre.. Thoughts ?

The gyre is great these are great but the flow patterns are different and obviously the quality. I would start off with these and then evolve later on if you'd like

 

[elishapep]

Which one ?

The 15s

Ok thanks for your input

I have 1 rw15 on my 110 gal a long with my tunze 6025 the rw-15 is pretty strong. If I do it again I would do 2
rw-8

I wholeheartedly agree:)
I bought the first of the new batch of RW-15's
This pump has been running in my 4 x 2 x 2 for 2 years now and is still functioning as well as the day I bought it!
I also have 2 RW-20's in the tank but have to run them at 20% as they are so powerful :)

IMO the advantages far outweigh the negatives!
Price (I can buy 4 RW-15's for the price of one high-end wave maker),this to me, was the deal breaker!!
Adjustable and programmable
Long lasting (this may be contentious but I have 2 years already on my pump).
Powerful water flow.
Smaller in size (when compared to an Italian competitor)
Very good after sales service, from my local distributor!

I hope my little review helps :)

You get what you pay for. Had 2 both died within a year. Strong flow, sync mode is decent for price, but not dependable

I don't have one, but if you go dual jabeo you can use this controller - http://www.joejaworski.com/jebao/

I'm planning to get a 120 soon. Glad I found this thread!

 

[renato120]

I have two rw8 in my 120. I just bought one rw15 to see if I ger a better. Will see when it arrives.
They are not bad at all! I have a couple rw 4 that are running for 2 years.

Exactly what I was looking for! I didnt even know they had this! Just bought it! Thank you for posting this.
