anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

Most like too strong unless you have all SPS corals. Its probably going to be too strong for my 120 gallon tank. I heard they are coming out with a lower power one or you could purchase WP-40 and buy a variable power supply ($12 online) and cut the power/wave in half. At least that's what someone adviced me - I am currently waiting on my 1 WP-40.

I think it's important for people posting videos to show what 1 or 2 WP-40 can do w/o any other pump on. I will be specific when I get a chance to make a video

the WP 25 is in production, however, the specs are as follows: flow rate = 3000l/h; energy consumption = 6w; seems it is geared more towards nano's rather than the 60-100 gallon tank range.

That's some heavy flow....In your opinon would 1 wp-40 would be sufficient flow for my 120 gallon Mixed reef w/o variable power supply? I have staghorns probably 7" from the waterline and don't want to blast them to much. Would you say the flow is strong/gentle, random/turbulent, Or just strong/lineaer? How low does the the power go with the night sensor?

Sorry for all the questions you don't have to answer I know ultimately everyone's tank is different...I'll find out when it arrives

I think one should be enough for a 120gal (48x24) system. The flow is random but can be strong on some settings.. I'm still getting the power sply just to mess around with the settings. But so far I'm happy with results!! When the lights go off and the sensor kicks in.. Goes in smooth water flow which is great as my other powerheads were to strong.

I find that the wp40 is too strong on my 4x2x2ft tank
 
If WP25 is indeed has a max flow rate of 3000l/h which is less than 1/4 of WP40, it will not be strong enough for most tank larger than 40g, IMO. I am kind of disappointed with such a low flow rate.

The WP40 in my 180g is more flow than I want. I already have 2000gph from the sump and 3200gph from a CL. I dialed the WP40 back to 18V which is about 2400gph. I like the idea of 2 WP25 and a total of 1600gph split with 800gph at each end rather than 2400gph all at one end. And no need for the extra power converter. Does anybody know what the WP25 is projected to sell for?
 
RBs is ususally pretty quick in reviewing new equipment and products before they are launched. I am surprised there has been no review of this pump since it has been launched almost 3 months ago.

Unfortunately it is a bit more complicated. The pump is voltage controlled not current controlled. A potentiometer would limit the current, not the voltage. However if you were to use a POT to make a voltage divider, than that would probably work, and be quite easy to do.

I have two of these pumps and I'm going to open one up to try to ID the components and see how hackable they might be. The idea that all of the components needed to adjust the pump output are already in the controller provided. Here's how I would change the programming if in fact it is microprocessor controlled.

1. Change the knob from a frequency modification to output modification.
2. Run the frequency of waves in a regular pattern.
3. Have the light sensor cut the output from full to 1/3 output.

Anyone already crack it open? pics?

You may want to read the thread. It will answer most of your questions....
 
So I've been waiting for the wp25 for nothing, that sucks. I guess I'll be picking up a couple wp40's after all and get a variable power supply.

Hold on! Those WP25 flow rate was pure speculation as no one has seen any official published specifications from Jebao about the smaller pump. If any one has confirmed info about the flow rate of WP25, post the link of the officical specifications here.
 
This is my afford so far, its still under development ,
i can control the pump from everywhere, and get real-time feedback too,
manage to make reefcrest like theme , nutrient exrt like etc.

i need a second jebao to make more tests and R&D in order to make two or more Jebao work together and get the best out of them.
i have also some great ideas , for example controller to read the weather from a meteorological website and make some storm themes .:spin3:

What kind of water pattern is nutrient export? Is reefcrest random full on and stop?
 
full on and stop is the Pulse theme.
nutrient exp i think is best with 2 jebaos one with pulse and one with straight lines power. anyway is one hour theme.
reef crest is not random , is like the vortech "map" and is 1 hour theme too
