mountaineer Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I had a Jebao WP-10 that just bit the dust. It was the only powerhead in my 27 gallon cube (20"x20"x18"), though I also have an AC70 and a HOB skimmer that provide some flow. The Jebao didn't last, so I'm thinking about trying a Koralia. Or something else. Two questions: 1) What powerheads would you suggest for this tank? 2) I wasn't very happy with the flow pattern I got from this one larger powerhead. I'm thinking about getting two smaller powerheads to create a more circular flow pattern around my scape, which had dead spots in the back corners. Good idea? This is for a tank with LPS, mushrooms, and Gorgonians. I'd appreciate your advice. Link to comment

StevieT Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Don't they have a warranty? Link to comment
Benny314 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If it is out of warranty or what ever but you haven't given completely up with Jebao, look at their new RW range. The RW-4 is the WP-10 replacement. These RW's have a much wider flow pattern with more under tow generated and better range of control with lower power settings. They're also bloody powerful, I'm getting sand shifting the far end of a 3x2x2 when running just one of my 2 RW-4's. Link to comment
mountaineer Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'll look into the warranty... I've only had it since September. I didn`t think they had one. Link to comment
Benny314 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Think every thing has at least 12 months if it was brought from a legitimate supplier. Good luck. Link to comment
Bingo1213 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Mine died at 13 months...needless to say I got vortech to replace them and have not looked back!! Link to comment
