I'm running two Hydor Koralias now and am looking to add more flow. I was thinking of getting a Jebao pp8. Will that be too strong? I have a mixed reef with sand for a substrate.

I'm running a Jebao Ow-25 and a PP4 on my 40g Breeder and I have the Ow-25 setting on the lowest and move a lot of water. The PP4 doesn't move that much water.

Looks like the Jebao Ow-25 and pp8 have similar flows rates. Would you suggest one of those? Do you think they would they blow my sand around even on the lowest settings?

I like the Ow-25 but both are good. Also I set the wavemaker to move the surface for gas exchange so I have no problem with the sand.

I would get 2. The ow25 and ow10 since they are the newer models.
I am running a icecap 1k,sw2 and my mp10qd once it’s moved from my 35 cube to my new 40b. But I am running an abs bare bottom.
