anyone tried to using Jebo WP40?

[Lateralus]

I notice that piece is 5v-24v. The other one is 12-24v. Is there a minimal amount of voltage these pumps should run on?

 

[Sacohen]

I don't think that has been really determined, but the # of 12v has been tossed around.

Does anyone have the wiring schematic to be able to hook the WP-40's to an Apex? And can 1 cable run 2 pumps?

 

[Sacohen]

I believe there is one in the WP40 modification thread. I can't find it right now.
You can not control 2 pumps with 1 STOCK controller.
You can control 2 pumps with a third party controller like and Apex or Reef Angel.

I've had mine for about 3 weeks. The power cord went bad on it on the 2nd day. Luckily I had a old one from a laptop. Other than that I'm happy with it and defiantly worth the money

Anyone have some insight on how i can get my 3 wp40s into night mode? Where do you place your controller so that it gets light during day and just little light at night?

 

[shifty51008]

Best option is just to order the better senors. Mine are in my stand and the work fine in complete darkness

 

[FlyTekk]

But if they are in the stand how do they know its daytime?

 

[shifty51008]

My lights are bright enough where light spills over the back of the tank to reach in the stand

 

[DrawnToBeaches]

would one of these be appropriate for a 50g cube on else? maybe even dropped down to 12-16v?

 

[shifty51008]

I would go with the wp25 on the 50 gal.

 

[DrawnToBeaches]

the reason i ask about the wp40 is the wider flow which is appealing, Is there no way to take it down to about 20-30%? i'm buying both just because I can but it would be nice to run the wp40

 

[shifty51008]

I dont think thet will run at 20 or 30%. I think 50% is the lowest they will go but not positive

Agree with that I was using one wp40 and it was way to much now I have 2 x wp25 and it is perfect

 

[Sacohen]

I'm running a 40 on my standard 55 gallon tank and it is fine. I have it running at 20% during feeding time, but it is controlled by a Reef Angel, not the standard controller.

So the speed reduction is being done on the control line, not the power line.

I think 50% is about right if you are reducing the current going to the controller, IE a 12v power supply instead of the 24v.

I purchased the same sensors someone posted earlier, 30 pack off eBay but no luck .. I still have the same problem on darkness and a 470k risistor didn't work either . Help ?

 

[Dactylopterus]

If you use another controller like an APEX you can go as low as 20-30% but this is done providing full 24V to the pump

 

[Dactylopterus]

I dont think thet will run at 20 or 30%. I think 50% is the lowest they will go but not positive

That is correct, you should not provide less than 12V before the stock controller, 18V is more recomended
