Need opinions on which pump setup to use?

Rob's Reef · Jul 16, 2015

So my tank is 8ft long 30"width

Currently I have 2 vortech mp40's

I need to add more flow and these are the options I'm thinking about...

What do you guys think?

Have you looked at the maxspect gyre?

Might want to check out the jebao rw-20, it has a slightly wider flow than the wp60, plus if you have two you can set one as a slave and sync them together and adjust the flow separately. I had two rw-8s on my 75g and they worked great.

The MP 40's will not be enough in your tank. I had two in my 6ft tank it was lacking. I went with a Gyre 150 that I got yesterday. It seems to definetly produce a lot more flow then the 40's and I don't even have it on 100%.

I can't speak for the gyres but I have a jabeo rw 20 and a 15 and I have to say so far I've been very happy with them. The master slave mode allows u to synce the rw pumps of all sizes but still allows u to adjust the flow independently on each individual one depending on placement.
