Power head recommendation

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The main reason is circulation. It's a big tank so if it could get all the debris to go to one corner to make daily cleaning easier that would be great also. I don't know if dovii like a lot of current tho, so that will also be considered.
 
Jebao pp20 is a monster for $80. I have a 120 rimless tank with plants and floating water lettuce. I decided that I need a bit more flow, but it's hard to find magnets that work ok on 3/4" glass. I saw the PP20 and figured that if I got the big pump the mag would be strong and the product page says it has an extreme magnet.

Well the magnet holds just fine on 3/4", so that is right!

Problem is that this pump is a beast. Absolutly, easily, the strongest pump I have ever even seen. On the min setting in my 120 all my floating plants were compressed on top of each other, the drift wood went flying and even rocks (on BB) were moved.

I ran it 2 min and decided I had to sell it. But for a big tank it would be awesome. They have an adjustable power supply to dial it down even more, but in 4ft even that would be a lot.
 
I was looking at jebao's. So far I've only stumbled on the wp 40 and 60. The 3/4 acrylic is also a concern of mine. Sounds like I'm gonna hafta check out the pp20. Thanks!
 
No problem! Fish-street has them out of a US warehouse. There is a link on their page. I still might pick up the baby of the rw/pp range, the pp8 for my 120. I really liked the design and the broad flow.

Is the RW the same as the pp? I'm seeing lot of RW's but can't seem to find pp's.
 
I think they are the same. There have been model updates and I am not sure if the pp is the latest upgrade over the rw. Not too long ago they upgraded the magnets, so make sure it has the new one. I know fish-street does and lists the pp - same as the jebao website, so I went with them.

Jebao RW pumps are insane. They move a huge body of water in a nice wide stream. I highly recommend them.

I think the rw are the same, but a wireless version.
