SPS and flow

I was just considering tonight that maybe I should have got the RW8 model instead of the 15s I've got my 15s dialed down to 30% tops.

Th RW8 is soo much smaller too. When I got my 8 I thought I wanted the 15, wasn't thrilled about the flow. Then I saw the 15 and was glad. I'll get another, two will still be less conspicuous than one 15

I too enjoy the much smaller size of the RW-8s ! They are half the size of my original 6105s. I was also concerned that maybe I should have gotten the 15s instead (my LFS didn't have any in stock at the time), but after weeks of running the 8s, they are perfectly fine for my tank. I couldn't be happier with them.

Ya, and my tank is only 30x40, so really don't need 10,000 gph (I have dual Tunze 6055 as well). Should have got the 8s lol. Oh well.

Not likely in town, and shipping stuff around is a hassle, so for now, I'll just dial these back. Probably pull the Tunzes as well.
