That was going to be my next questions - flow. SCP-90 on one side and an SLW-10 on the other currently. Have to run both on lowest setting currently. Really considering an MP10 in place of the SLW-10 or may wait until the slw dies.

Do you center the MP40 on the side?
Is your SCP-180 higher or lower?

Currently have them placed like this:

I have my mp40 with the wide flow limpet position near the top..I like water surface agitation. I have 2 slw30 as backups in case something fails. This arrangement works for me and everyone is happy

Does the "wide flow limpet" really change the flow pattern? I thought those were just protection from fish or snails getting sucked in?

It's both. It will direct the flow at an outward angle and create more diffuse flow pattern. I find that the undertow is less likely to pull anything onto the powerhead. Widespread, gentle and indirect flow with limpet. Here's a good brs video

These are the first Jebao pumps for me so not familiar with all the settings. This is what I have now. Good start?

I use w1 mode. My corals like it best. Else too strong for them. I like the w1 for the wavy sway back and forth. Haven't use the H or C mode

I probably should read the manual or Google search first. "C" mode says it requires 2 pumps that will work in alternating rhythm on/off. "H" is constant. "Else" is random.

Right now with only the single pump on "C" it turns on and off in a rythmic cadence. May work in combination with the cross wave pump.
