Which Powerhead mode with 2 pumps? (Jebao)

[Nick Steele]

Okay so I just added a second powerhead to my 20G Nuvo and I’m wondering which mode would be best or what people use most when they have more than one powerhead.

Currently I’m running them master/slave in wave 2 mode at 50%. Everything looks happy and my Euphyllia that’s right next to the new pump are a little more fluffy then when I had only the one pump. Sand is also much cleaner since adding the second powerhead and so far I’m happy!

Below is my tank. I don’t have a pic with the new powerhead but it is where the red dot is. It’s pointed toward the surface as to not blast the Euphyllia completely.

I run my alternate for 10 seconds. one pointed at surface and one the other end pointed down and at the front glass for deflection

Do you ever worry about fish getting into the pump when it’s off?

I don’t have anything small eneough that will fit in Them and if I did I would use the enenome guards

I have a 60 cube. Both set to random.
Still experimenting though, and interested in what others are doing.

Bump. Wondering what others are doing...

Exactly the same as you.
The random was a bit much for my torches and hammers,
One side for a bit, then the other for a bit, just a nice back and forth sweep which both the sticks and LPS seem to love.
