Well, that just made me make up my mind ! Wp 40 it is on my cube!

Do I need the Neptune Systems VDM Variable Speed Dimming Module/Aqua Illuminations Compatible in addition to the parts listed? Also do I need the Neptune Systems 2 Channel AquaSurf/Apex to Stream Cable or the Neptune System 1 channel Apex to Stream / 1 channel light dimming cable ?
If you have the full apex, you already have the vdm Ethernet jack ports.
The Neptune cables are just Ethernet cables with only the 4 wires connected as listed in my how-to. Cut away the other colors. There is no reason to buy the Neptune cables and spend the crazy price on them. A cat5e cable is like $1.

Here's a quick one
For Neptune Apex:
0-10v analog input PWM module:
Search ebay for LED DIMMER PWM 10 A.12VDC-24 VDC; POT. or 0-10V control
Cat5e ethernet cord
Wire nuts or solder and heat shrink tubing
Solid core wires (or wires that can handle up to 5A) stevesleds has some
Unscrew the controller casing
![]()
24- is blue
24+ is reddish
VA is green yellow and remains untouched
Cut the blue and red wire about halfway down, so you have enough wire connected to the controller still, and some down the cord.
Add solid core wire to extend the wire length with wire nuts, solder, or some way to connect the wires securely.
The 0-10v PWM module terminals look like this -+ +-
The first -(blue) and +(red) go to the pump wires
The next +(red) -(blue) are the ones connected to the controller internals 24+ and 24- points
The following saves you $14 over getting a neptune vdm cord.
Cut one end of a Cat 5e ethernet cord off.
Keep the following wires:
orange/white wire (positive) - orange wire (negative)
blue/white wire (positive) - green wire (negative)
When plugged into the first VDM port, blue/white green is V1, oranges are V2
Second port, blue white green is V3, oranges V4
On the 0-10v module for V1, connect blue/white to + on 0-10v control input terminal , green to - control.
Put the controller back together in a project box, do a really good job with electrical tape taping the loose box together, or fit it all inside somehow and screw back together.
Set profiles and you're done.
Finally received my wp40 in the mail today! Got to say the pump is amazing. Much more happy with this than I was with an MP10. I bought an MP10 expecting it to make some waves in my 3 foot tank, but was very disappointed because it performed about the same as my koralias. Needless to say I returned the MP10 and bought this. I am running it on W1 mode on the lowest setting and it is running great, dont think I will be needing the converter to reduce the speed of the pump.
I saw one in person and it was in the hands of a Reef Angel Employee who said that they were going to see it could be controlled by the Reef Angel Controller. We will have to see.
Have any of you contacted Jebo directly for a pump? I saw on atl reef Club that someone said they got a reply from Jebo that they would sell them the pump for like $35! Anyone hear about this? Obnoxious since I paid "full" price if true...
Here's the quote from the Atlanta Reef Club
I contacted Jebao directly about purchasing from them:
"The price for WP-40 is around $35, please advise your zip code or address so we can check
the freight price to you ,thanks!"
Waiting for shipping costs.

Ordered mine last wednesday(3/6) got an email from eric this morning saying itll be shipping in 2-3 days. This is for all of you that have been asking about how long for preorder shipments.
How many gallons is the tank? Surprised it's not way too much on a 3 footer....
