Jebao cross flow pumps or RW(OW) pumps? Which one to get

[Plancton]

I'm liking the logic behind the new Jebao cp cross flow pumps for a 24x24x12" shallow cube. However, Jebaos were known for failing after a few months, but they have been upgrading them everytime. I heard the new models (OW) don't fail anymore, does anyone have experience with them?

 

And I haven't heard much again from the Jebao cross flows, I just saw this video from 2016, the guy liked it but he said it stopped working after 3.5 months. What's your opinion?

We just started stocking these in my store I work at and they work ok. One thing I noticed is it gets a lot hotter than any of the Ice-Caps and is louder as well. In terms of quality they are build almost identical to the Ice-Caps and look the same as well. The only thing that would stop me from buying this over the ice-cap is its only $20 less give or take, so why not go for a more reputable brand that runs cooler, quieter, and most likely will last longer.

Thanks for the tip, would you prefer this over a regular wavemaker pump?, I think these gyres consume more wattage 2, it is either 1x gyre or 2x wavemakers

I definitely prefer the gyre over a regular wave maker in my tank because it is mostly sps corals but I still have one SW-4 in the back corner just for some added flow

I just bought the IceCap 1K Would that be sufficient For a biocube 29 I have an old Jeboa wp20 I have had it for 2 years its starting to make a sound every time it pulses and it didn't produce enough wave action my sand bed is never moved around for detritus to move around in the tank ?
