Which Jebao for my IM20

[Just_Pete]

I'm looking to upgrade the flow in my Innovative Marine 20 gallon. Currently I'm using a Hydor Koralia 240 and a cheap 90 GPH water pump. Both are mounted at opposite sides of the tank and have been doing an "OK" job for the last 9 months. I have 3 SPS mounted high and 10+ LPS placed around rocks and sand. I don't plan on adding any more SPS, to much of a headache with this setup. With that said I've been looking at Jebao PP4 & PP8.

My question is will the PP4 be adequate for my IM20 without having to add any more pumps? I'd really like to just have one on this tank. Or should I go with the PP8 and turn down the power if it's to much? The reason why I'm considering the PP8 is eventually in a year or so I plan on upgrading to a 40 gallon cube and would like to use it their.

The 8 is pretty large, have 2 in my 75 on 50%. I used to have the 4 in my IM10 on the lowest setting and that was great. Also for aesthetics the 8 may look a bit out of place.

I have the pp4. Love it. I keep it about half the power on my 30 long. Extremely well at mixing up the flow in my reef.

The pp4 should be fine!

Maybe check out the coral box QP-5. Jaebo product, but silent and controllable. I have one in my nuvo 40 as a supplement for my mp10. It would work great in a 20g

Thanks for the advice. I didn't really think about the size difference, something to consider.

Thanks for the replies and advice guys. I ordered the PP4.

IMHO, based on experience -- The one that isn't a Jebao.

Get a tunze 6055.

I have been looking for a new power head. Is the PP 8 loud/noise at all? I need to find a quite one.
