anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

[Kyuss]

Any of these china accounts are just BS names anyways. Probably more than one person to each "account". I bought an e-shine light fixture once and my guy was named Peter. Peter Pan. Not kidding, really.

A little off-topic, but I worked with a guy from China before who went by the name of Fred. Pretty much all Chinese people assume a "western" name when working or dealing with people from the west. I asked Fred why this is, and it's simply because we murder the pronunciation of their Chinese names (witnessed by me when he told me his Chinese name :lol and end up giving them a nickname anyway. So instead they just pick a western name for themselves to go by so they don't end up with 10 different nicknames. Makes sense to me.

Lol. That funny because I know a guy from China and his name was Chuck Norris. When he first told me I was like no **** thats my name. Thought it was odd he started talking Chinese to his other friends and they all started taking photos. I didn't know what to do but LMAO

Best 100 bucks i have every spent. I love my wp40 and the money i saved form buying a vortech i will buy corals and fish.

 

[H.reidi.MN]

Yup $$ well spent

Still love the pump for the money. It has however slowed it's power down some. Definitely not getting the wave when first purchased. Soaked it in vinegar/water really good, so that didn't help.

Are 2 wp40s enough for a 4ft 120 gal? Want to keep sps

 

[Sacohen]

Probably.

I just ordered 1 Jebao WP60 and a DC9000 for my 6ft 180G build. I can add a WP40 or 2 as needed later but figured I would start off with the big gun. They seem readily available on ebay so im taking my chances with no fish-street warranty assistance.

I had 2 wp40's on my 4ft 150 SPS. After a few months of them slowing down I switched to 2 wp60's. Was alot of flow at first but now after they slowed its just about right.

 

[dukduk]

why do they slow down? electrical issues or mass accumilaton on the impeller and shaft?

 

[Sacohen]

Accumulation on the impeller shaft.
I clean mine every couple of months and they are good as new afterwards.

 

[NeveSSL]

What specifically do you do to clean them?

[Sacohen]

I clean everything.
The housing, take the housing apart pull the impeller clean the shaft and the hole the shaft goes in, but the important parts are the impeller shaft and the hole for it.

 

[NeveSSL]

Awesome. Thanks!

I still can't get mine to speed back up to normal levels. It will run at normal levels for 16 to 24 hours then fall back down to a 3rd the speed and struggle.

Would a new power supply help? 7 month old wp40

Sounds like a controller issue to me.

What do you use for cleaning,...vinegar/toothbrush ?

 

[fredyu]

I just got my wp40.

How are you guys position it in the tank?
I have ,72"x18"x28" with overflow only on one side of the tank.

Will you put it on the overflow side or the opposite side?

Will you put it at the back of the tank or on the side?

Vertically how high from the bottom or how deep from the surface?
I have another circulation pump (constant), should I keep them on the same side or opposite side?
