SO i currently have Jeboa pumps and one has quit working within the 30 day warranty period, I am planning to return it and get a new brand and have come across these units. I have a Deep Blue 90 gallon mixed reef and have a few concerns and questions that i hope you can answer. I will list them below.
1.) What size should i get for a 90 gallon tank? the 130 or 150. Where have you placed yours? the back wall or one of the side walls and why?
2.) i have a very fine sand substrate, based on videos it looks like one of these units no matter where it is place is going to blow my sand bed around quite a bit. I am thinking about adding a layer of crushed coral on top of the sand to prevent this from happening. What are your thoughts.
3.) My last concern, In the middle of my tank I have a large, 20+ head frogspawn about half way up in the water column. I am worried about it getting too much flow.I was thinking it wouldn't be a problem since if I were to put the unit on the back glass the coral would be directly under it getting less flow. In videos i am seeing most people put the unit on a side of the tank vs the back. I guess this goes back to my first question.
TIA. Below is a pic of my tank for reference, its a couple months old so things have gotten bigger but you get the jist
