ryans.salty.crew Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hello, I currently have a Nuvo 10g tank and am looking for a little extra flow. Has anyone used a Jebao SLW-10? Or if you have any other suggestions from personal experience. Trying to keep my budget somewhere below $100. Quote Link to comment
carnationcrab Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I have a jebao wavemaker that had been going strong for 4 years before I took it down. Trying to modify it to work in my new tank now because it served me so well. I recommend it! 1 Quote Link to comment

What size tank do you have, with what model wavemaker? I'm wondering if I should get the SLW-10 or SLW-5. I'm worried the 10 might be to strong for my 10g even on the lowest setting.

carnationcrab Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I had the biocube 15 and the SLW-10. It was perfect for me! 1 Quote Link to comment
rimga123 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I have a SLW10 in my waterbox 15G peninsula and its not enough. I have it turned the power all the way up and use Elsa mode. I would want to run at max strength all the time but honestly I am afraid that it might die. So I have ordered a SLW20 and I will be running both. I have also noticed that when i switched from tune nanostream 6045 to jeabo, my water temperature has increased by a 1 degree celcius. I use night mode and it goes down back by a degree at night time. Also tune nano stream moved a lot more water on the lowest setting in comparison to slw10 on its highest. even though jebao should be a lot more powerful with its output. I am not sure though if tunze is underestimating their output or jebao is overestimating. Jebao is very silent pump and having a controller is super handy, 2 Quote Link to comment

Previous to that I ran it on a 20G where I felt it wasn’t enough so I think it would be perfect for a 10G. 1 Quote Link to comment
