anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

[offshored]

to be honest...

Thanks

Tank's being built this week... seeing if I should wait for a bigger Jebo or just get WP40s...

Will just use 2 Sicce 4000s while the tank is cycling and go from there when I'm getting closer to moving new and existing livestock in.

Would be nice to hear somebody with 8ft+ tanks experience with the WP40s. I'm sure there is a post in here, just a lot of pages to go through.

there is a video of 1 wp40 on a 8' frag tank but only shows the top water movement

and here is one on a 265 gal tank 7ft long by 24" deep by 31" high..

Well I guess 4 should do pretty well

Will just need to see where my dead spots are and get some additional pumps.

I would agree that 4 pumps all on else mode would make quite a bit of movement in the tank

What stock do you have? .

Mixed reef. I have about 40-50 softies, LPS and SPS

That's what I have and dual WP40 were too much. Even dialed back. The problem with them was I couldn't dial them back far enough to not disturb some of my LPS, mainly big frogspawn and brains. You could try, lots of variables to account for. Worst case, you have a spare.

I am not planning on running them at the same time. 6 hours each alternating between the 2 to simulate tidal flow

that's a good idea! I could do that with my apex by just using on/off or even oscillating...

cool thanks!

Cool idea, I like that a lot. Simulate the tides and create flow for both ends to better get some flow to everybody. Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:

If people were to run 2 pumps but only 1 at a time but useing a timmer and not a controller would the pumps come back on with the same setting?

 

[treetopflyn]

I am also planning on using my reef angel to have the flow slowly increase over the 6 hours and having a slack tide at the end of the 6 hours

Yes!

I have 4 on my 60x36x25. Two alternate with a JBJ wave maker one is always on and the one I set to w1 mode comes on with my lights and I have not had any lose the settings.

I think there is already a mode set up in the Reef Angel for this.
It is either Reef Crest, Tidal Swell Mode, or Tide Mode.

I actually took notice of that this weekend, after power loss, the jebao controller retained the last setting it was on.

Tidal Swell Mode.

Cool

There have been some reports (2 I think) of the controller not retaining the previous mode it was in after a power loss and returning to W1.

The default mode is actually the H or High mode that it will return to. It happened to me when I set my variable PS too low like less than 16V.

The flexibility of having two WP40s or WP25s in creating random flow, tidal flow, and alternating flow is just endless:dance:
