Nathans_Reef Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 does anybody know if the Jebao sw2 wave maker will produce too much flow for a 30cm cube aquarium even if it is pointed at the surface slightly? Quote Link to comment
paulsz Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 no it should be good! i have an SW4 running on lowest setting, W2 mode in a tank that is about 35cm long and 25cm wide. When the powerhead is freshly cleaned (during water changes), the flow is pretty strong. But the corals seems to handle it. Even the mushrooms. They wave around a little but adjust within a day or so. 1 Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It all depends on aquascape and the corals you keep I had the sw on the lowest setting wave mode and could not run regular mode and it pissed my corals off and even damaged a few. Softies and sps were fine, but my lps were not. I used the sw in a 15g which was 24" long. No 2 tanks are the same, what works for 1 will may not work in another 1 Quote Link to comment

I tried it in many different ways, different places, didn't matter. Even had the same issue with it in my 25g and 10g. The SW2 doesn't have that much ability to direct it and i ended up with 2 that crapped out in 3 mnths. I replaced them with other wavemakers 1 Quote Link to comment
