Flow in a 25 cube

It's your call, but just be aware that many of us all have gone done the road of changing to a larger tank 6 months after the initial setup. LPS will grow quick and fast and will bother either each other or any new SPS you add in. If you are really planning ahead, you should just get a larger tank and the proper associative equipment.

 

Best advise here, So many people buying smaller tanks only to realize down the road that all the stuff they would like to have requires a much larger tank. 25 gallons really limits your fish stocking and even coral stocking. Assuming the 25g cube is 18x18x18 once you place your live rock you will be limited on area for corals to be placed and grow out.

 

Thanks.

 

Look, I understand the whole argument about getting the biggest tank you can. But this is the tank I want, and its not my first.

However, I am trying to plan ahead, which is why I asked for advice on flow. Didn't necessarily want to be questioned or criticized as to whether I REALLY am planning ahead or about the tank size I choose.

 

I apologize not criticizing your choice. Most often when people are asking what should I get we assume it is their first tank. Were just trying to offer helpful suggestions that many may not realize when setting up a smaller tank. Since you have experience and are trying to save money then dont do the korallias but go for a wp10 or wp25. It will give you variable control and you can increase it as time goes by when you want sps.

 

Its cool. Ever since I started the hobby I've wanted a cube. Not sure why but I've always thought they were the best looking tanks.

But I have been looking at the wp-10's. I just worry about the longevity, especially since I can get two tunze 6015 for roughly the same price.

 

If you want reliable and long lasting the Tunze are a great product. I personally like the alternating flow, especially sps thrive in it so if you get a controller you can hook something up for the tunzes to produce something like that.

The Jebao pumps are gaining quite a bit of popularity so they must be offering a decent product for many people to be willing to try it. I myself love my vortechs going on 3 years strong for my mp10's.

 

We'll now I'm not sure , so with the jebao would a wp10 or wp25 be better?

 

Well, went ahead with ordering the WP10 this morning. Well see how it goes when I get the build together, thanks everyone for your input.

 

congrats on making a decision. I have a wp-25 and have been very happy with it
