Upgrade jebao mow 22 to vortex mp 40 or 60?

[Tangdora]

Hi.

Would like to upgrade the cheap jebao I’m running on my setup to vortex to take advance advantage of apex programming via the mxm. Currently running the mow 22 which are rated at 5800 gph max. This falls somewhat in the middle of the mp40 5000 gph max and the 60s 9000 gph max. Tank is 350 gallons and 10ft L x 2.5ft W x 2ft H long and I’m currently running two power heads on each side. The 22s in a constant or wave mode definitely provide good move ment but the static flow directions not so ideal for coral. The random mode which I typically run definitely seems to favor the lower end of flow. Running at like 50% of flow according to wattage monitoring. Not sure how the random options of the vortex compare. Assuming a sps dominate mix. Curious if people think given this. Tanks size if I need to bite the bullet and cost should go with 60s. Or are they over kill with my size and gallon and the 40s would still be more ideal approach down grading the 800 gph

If you go with 60 s you can always adjust to the out put of what you need . Dial it down as so to speak

If the MOW 22s are 5800 max, are you maxing them out right now? If it were me, I'd do the MP-60s and turn them down. That way, if you need more flow in the future as things grow in, you will have it. Given the MP-40s max out at 5000, you are limiting yourself.

Why not look at the jebao dmp 55 or 65. They will be roughly 20% of the price of an mp60.

These are the same gph as the mow 22 but are not apex compable with the mxm and apex which is the primary feature I’m looking for
