Hi all. I'm Raden from Canada. I've been in Salt water now for 3 years. I have kept freshwater tanks for nearly 25 years until making the jump into saltwater.

My current setup is a 75gal (48"long x 18" deep x 20" high). Mostly softies and some LPS. The time has come to upgrade my power heads. I am on a tight budget and looking at Coral-Box Wavemakers. I'm thinking on getting an RN-1 and a QPS-5 on the other end. According to thier rated gph this should be more than enough for me.

Anyone have any experience with these and would these two together be enough flow in a 75gal?

Hi Raden. I'm Lisa from USA. Welcome! Glad you joined. Going to defer to others, as power heads and wavemakers are not my strengths. There are other areas of site under Forum where there are other categories, so if you still need answers then you might try posting there where others watch those categories to help. Good luck.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Get a jaebo slw 20 or a gyre! Jaebo is awesome but some people may disagree. I have a single gyre for my 60 gal and it works great
