New coral box rn1 wavemakers

So im ordering 2 new coral box rn1 wave makers to add to my 180 sps dominant reef, and will be reviewing the flow and how the corals respond here. Anyone else used these pumps yet

So i received these yesterday, quick shipping, and good packaging. Seem to be well made, nice controlled and good instructions. Added one to my frag tank and one to my display

Don’t think they’re new; same as the RP-M. Been using the latter for about a year. I like them.

the rn-1 is the original and is older than rp-m with minor difference.
I got my rn-1 for a while and works quite well. The price must have gone down quite a bit since I got mine. just wish the reverse can be programmed.the reverse function is a real reverse, not like those cross flow pumps where the reverse is a total useless novelty that does absolutely nothing.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/doT7yw89FbwaDySi6 here are some pictures of the pump unboxed, and in tank, they are silent, and move a lot of water but in a very wide flow, I will be getting 2 more to add to my frag tank, the corals love the flow, and I really like to small foot print and the silent running
