    WAVs in Red Sea Reefer 250

    I'm setting up a Red Sea Reefer 250 (65 gallons). Will a WAV or two be too much for this tank?

    Its all about the placement and the conditions of the tank. I run a single WAV in my Red Sea Reefer 170. It is a mixed reef, but skewed more towards SPS. I run thick substrate (Julian's CaRx media), but love gobies, so I also have sand islands around my rocks for them.

    The WAV is placed on the side of the tank opposite the return outputs on the back wall and it points towards the side glass/front corner. I run up to 50% during the middle of the day in pulse mode. I have excellent flow in the tank and very few dead spots due to the momentum of the WAV and flow conditions.

    Thanks for the quick response. I now feel comfortable getting at least one for the tank.

    I have two in my Reefer350 and this is too much to be honest.. Can get them past 10% without causing issues with LPS. But they are excellent pumps.

    I got 2 pumps for my Red Sea Reefer because one of the Neptunes employee told me it will be perfect for it during a local coral Farmers market. This pumps are to strong no matter what placement I tried.
