With my new 36g Bow Front I was planning on getting the Jebao WP-25 with controller. Well my budget is about dead due to the upgrade so was looking at the Hydor Koralia 425. Do you think this would give enough flow in the tank once combined with my Hydor 240? Will be getting the WP-25's soon but right now my CC is say OUCH!!!!  |

Probably not. It's be very low flow. I'd just save that money for the Wp-25's and hope to buy them soon.

For a reef you want 25-30x turnover. For sps dominant you want 40-50x IMO.

Hmm...found one that is in my budget. It is a dual head, ball joints for different flow directions and will put out 1600gph...each! Is this overkill lol.

That's interesting.. I'd be careful with a product that much don't know about though. |

Will do. Looked interesting so thought I would ask for opinions on it before I done anything.

+1 on saving for the WP-25. I wouldn't spend money on a product you don't know about. I don't think I've ever heard of that brand before. I could be wrong, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
The jebaos are excellent wave makers and are worth the wait and savings.

The jebaos are excellent wave makers and are worth the wait and savings. I will be waiting for sure. If things go as planned I may be able to get it by the end of the month. $60.00 for one wave make plus controller isn't bad at all. |

No biggie though once I make another payment on my account then I can get it hehehehe. |
