Ignorant stereotyping ****.

I own a old 95m3, whats there to stick my nose up about? People look at it and go look at that old piece of crap. Its my weekend car , track suspension prepped with a proven 50/50 weight distribution. With proper maintenance on the radiator and rear subframe, there are no major problems. Engine is known to go well past 300k without issue .That is why i like my bmw, the handling. I drive a civic for a daily.

My responses has merit, what does yours have? You sound like a child lashing out personal attacks because you couldnt formilate a legitmate response to my comments.

Ecotech/tunze has a proven track record with years of being in the market . Your jebao pumps have been in the market to for 2 month and offer a 2 month warramty with no warrany direct from the manufacture. So yeah, responses from people like you classify you as a fanboy. If you wrote this response a yearafter the produt has been n the market i would bite my tounge. Right now you just sound like a idiot. I wonder how warranty is going to be handled with the banned sales in the us. Hmmmmmmmmm?
 
Can we stop please....

some people like tunze
some people like vortechs
some people like koralias
some people like jebaos
some people just want a useful thread vs arguing on the internet....
:deadhorse:

everybody stop & keep it on topic..

The main interest in buying the cheaper fixture was actually in the hopes that I could sell the ATI and maybe make some money back. While I like the ATI fixture I don't understand the big hub-bub about it, I guess most of it just lies in the reflectors though. In which case if I was to buy some quality reflectors I could just DIY a fixture up and get similar (if not the same?) results.

Take a look at this thread:

The main focus here is the bit on the bulb reflection. It's a great way to tell the difference between high quality reflectors like ATI and junk.

At this point in time, nothing has been banned in the US. Tunze is merely strong-arming US distributors into not selling the pump.

While these pumps are relatively new, I've had mine running 2+ months with others having theirs longer, there have been a minimal amount of issues with them and plenty running strong and satisfactorily. You made your point, the pumps are fairly new, which everyone here is aware, but outside of that...what is your case? Ecotech and Tunze were new at one point, did that guarantee them to fall flat?

If you read my earlier post i said i hope it is time proven. If a year down the line, it works the youll see a jebao pump in my tank and my vortechs up for sale. My point is that people posting about tunze\vortech killers really dont have a valid reason simply becuase the company/pump is new to the market. How confident can you be in your product if you are unwilling to offer a warranty?

I read that post, and while time will tell, there is nothing to suggest these pumps won't stand the test of time. This is not the first Jebao product I have owned, the others being canisters, and they have always worked well for me so I have no doubt these will as well.

The WP25 is still on pre-order though correct? If I was to dial the WP40 down to 12v, assuming that is in fact the minimum on the pump fish street mentions on their site (4,300L). I'd be sitting around the same turnover rate in the tank that I have right now, just with one pump instead of three. Has anyone had the chance to test the actual GPH of these pumps? I did manage to read through this whole novel of a thread and while I don't remember reading it, its very possible I forgot about it in the 126 pages!

I'd prefer to go with the single WP40 if possible as I'll be upgrading to a 125 within the next 8 months or so and I'd rather have two WP40s than four WP25s.

I am running 1 WP-40 on a 90G mixed reef at 18V. Anything higher than that and my LPS's are getting beat up and close down. Waiting on my WP-25's... wanting to run 2 on that 90G. I also am running 2 WP-40's on my 180G and have them set at 18V. Same problem... full voltage equals ticked off LPS's! 2 of these would be perfect for a full blown SPS tank. I am willing to bet that you will be able to get by with 1 WP-40 or 2 WP-25's on a 125G just fine. We'll know for sure once more people get them in their hands. Prior to this I was running Tunze and Sicce Voyager HP's. Both were good brands, but was looking for a controllable powerhead. After research and listening to the MP-40's firsthand... they didn't even make the short list. If it hadn't been for these entering the market, Tunze would of won hands down! After running these for a few months, I honestly don't think I'm going to have problems with them. Be it Tunze, Eco-tech, Sicce or any other manufacturer, there is going to be defective pumps and some that will ultimately fail.... "Anything mechanical, Can and Will Fail" Good Luck on your 125G upgrade and Happy Reefing! :wavehand:

I am glad you keep an open mind about possible purchase of the Jebao pump in the future after we, the guinea pigs, have done all the reviews and testings for you.

As far as warranty, it is not important to me or to most of us who bought this pump. Given the low cost and being an international purchase, I have not expected any warranty coverage. To argue about that is a moot point. If it is important to you, this pump is not for you.
 
honestly, i've heard more people with problems with their MP10/40 than the wp40. and most people have really noisy MP10/40 after using for a year. im happy with my wp40 and i don't even think about changing to a mp10/40 or tunze. rather use the money on some nice corals.
 
Frankly I'd love to see someone with deep pockets buy 3-4 of these and run some stress tests on them. Kindof like hleping them fail. Run them with the adjustable power supplies, run them in super hot water. Crack them open and see what's actually inside them.

That being said I don't want to, just want the benifits. I'm still lurking, a few days away from my new build getting wet. I'ver personally never had a problem with EcoTech, though Hydor pumps.... man don't get me started.

Really excited to see there are not alot of hiccups so far. I will probably get a couple in the near future (better than running the voyager 4s on my reefangel.
 
First, I ordered two Wp40s as my ultimate goal is to have one mounted on each side supplying alternating flow. Two pumps are overkill for a 120 but I hope to one day control both with a controller. Until that time, I am using one with great results. Even at full power I get a useable wave that is contained within my tank. Before I got my Wp40's, I ordered first one then a second variable power supply from the original Amazon source mentioned long ago in this thread. The power supplies arrived approx a month apart. The first had the voltage slid switch on the side. I was exactly like the description of the PS mentioned earlier. The second, from the same source, same price was different. The slide switch was on the end. I installed the first arrival and set the voltage at 18 volts and liked the reduced wave. This first PS worked for 4 weeks until it had a complete failure. The red power light would not light. The jack produced zero volts. I am now using the second with positive results. The WP40 was not affected by the ps failure. I continues to work perfectly with no noise, vibration. The magnet mount works just fine.



HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A FAILURE OF THE AMAZON POWER SUPPLY?

BTW, the light sensor works perfectly as long as I use a LED automatic night light in full view of the sensor.

As to my use of the variable power supply and the possible damage to the pump, I am fairly confident there is little risk. The model railroad hobby has been using DC motors for over 50 years. Traditionally trains are controlled by variable voltage 0-12 volts. PWM, see below, was used for slow motion control. For over 15 years serious hobbyists use what is called DCC or digital command control to control the engines [electric motors]. Pulse Width Modulation- PWM with variable voltages, are used under far greater loads than circulation pumps w/o any problems. No concern is given to heat buildup both within the controllers and in the electric motors. In theory, I agree heat increases but not outside the motors capability to operate.

In any case, with the exception of the first Amazon variable power supply's failure, my pumps have worked perfectly and I highly recommend them.
