try turning it onto W2 and have the speed mode of S1. See if in wave pulse mode it moves them.
I have 2 wp-25's in a 100G and they blow sand around unless pointed just right

Hi Wretch,

Can you give a little more info on your setup? What are the dimensions of your tank? Where did you position your wp-10s. How do you like them? Is it enough flow or too strong. Do you have it on max? Did you try just turning one on? Was it too weak? Thx

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?

Hmm didn't move much. I went to w1 and cranked the knob to max and it started to move a little but not much

Do u have your wp25 in max mode? Do u think 1 wp25 is too much for a 40 breeder?

the wp10 is fairly small i would recommend at least 2 for a 40g tank or 1 wp10 with 1 wp25. The 25 might be a bit much but with a variable power supply or a dual controller you could dial it back a bit.
