if you turn either up i am sure that it will cover much more area. But with me having some soft tissue stuff i can't turn the power anywhere near all the way without my hammer corals looking like the tissue is going to tear.

I do know that there is a company that has a wp40 box that will be available soon(pending lawyer approval that it does not violate tunzes patent). So if what you want is a wavebox or if you are not worried about to much flow you could easily crank one mp40 up(or just not dial it down like i have) and have some serious flow. But that is something that you would have to decide based on what you have in your aquarium and what you are looking to accomplish with your purchase.

Hmmm...
not so much concerned with quantity of flow, but quality....

Sounds like either way, with one unit you will have too much flow on one side and too little on the other, in varying degrees.

In the end it is a powerhead at a good price with some features that generally have only been available on higher end units.

These are available for you to use(or not use) if it suits your needs. If you want one and it suits your needs that is great. But if you buy one because it is cheap and it is not what you need, it is not saving you anything if it doesn't get used or does get used but is not the right type of unit for your particular application it is not saving you anything.

And since these pumps are not being delivered until June i thought it would only be fair to add all GB people into the draw as an extra thanks for taking part.

Thanks again
Anyone who used the Promo code wp40canreef or wp25canreef? Thats awesome!

I have two wp40 on my tank on the back wall. I have them dialled right back as the undertow they create is freakishly strong. My tank is 42" wide, I think one would be enough, just my thought though.

haha, just wanted to make sure your expectations of it were reasonable as i am sure even though they are powerful and can make a wave.. i doubt it will provide the same movement type that a powerhead inside a wavebox can.
