My tank is a quarter circle. Its got two 27" sides and a 30" something bowfront. I have one wp10 on each 27" side aimed straight down the glass into to bowfront. My return blow straight down the middle of my tank. I never tried just one. I did have them on max but I have backed them off a little now.

I love the small size. They seem to move just as much water as the much bigger hydors. I would get them again.

Does anyone just run one wavemaker? Like one mp10 and that's it for flow?

i run just 1 wp10 in my 20g anemone tank and it is fine. Would add a 2nd if i filled it with sps. But one would be ok for softies/lps/a few sps.

I had a WP25 on my 40 breeder and it was a bit too powerful. It blew everything on it's path and turned my loose shrooms upside down and carried them like a whirlwind. It also create a bare patch on the sand. I have another wp25 on my 90 gal 3 ft tank and it's ok. I guess the problem was the 40 breeder is too shallow and putting a wp25 will create a lot of turbulence.

I have a WP-25 in my 40g breeder, and set on W1/S3 and directed upwards the flow is perfect! Unfortunately, it's the only setting that works well for that size of tank
