I found the thread that SimonSKL took measurements of the power draw.

I have not used the 25 a whole lot, but when I had it in my 55 I thought it was to much, without a dimmer.
I'm currently using a 40 on the 55 on Night mode all the time (until I get it hooked back up to my Reef Angel) and it is fine.
I like the 40 over the 55 because it has a wider flow.
Ron Reefman had been experimenting with modding the flow on the 25 to widen it a bit, but I'm not sure what happened to it.
The talk about modding them starts on page 52.
Ron what ever happened with you experiments on the flow for the WP25?

Heavily debating whether or not to go with the 40 or 25, I have a 75 RR tank, about 450 output from the return. I also have a couple 1050's that I have been using. They work fine but looking to raise some detritus up. With the 40 you get the wider flow and more flow at that but the 25 you get narrow flow and still lots of flow? Someone was speaking about laminar flow earlier... so maybe a 25 and a 1050 or a 40 and nothing else? Oh the decisions.... just worried about too much of a wave if I get the 40, even if I decide to dial back a bit.
Sorry I may be being a bit dense. I have a wp25 and was thinking of putting it in my 17g display (new controller). If i choose W1S3 mode and then add a dimmer @50%, will I effectively get 25% power?
Or will using a dimmer combined with s3 put it below the 50% required?

You are talking 2 different things.
The 50% is for the voltage going into the controller. the original 24V feeding the controller should not go below 50% (or 12v).
The S1-3 on the controller affects the voltage going from the controller to the pump.
I think the pump run 1-10V if I remember correctly so the S1 is full speed or 10V S2 is 50% or 5 volts and S3 is 25% or 2.5V.
I'm not sure how reducing the voltage to the controller and then to the pump will affect things.

Well I went ahead and tested it, just was seeing if I was about to do something bad to the system.
It definitely reduces all modes and functions correctly, and brings S3 down to at least ~25% (it seems even lower), I would have to bump it up for my tank. Else mode will be fully useful now though.

Koralias are cheap but only do one thing, flow at whatever speed they are set unless you put them on the wavemaker hydor offers which even then just shuts the koralias on and off. The Jebao gives you selections of different wave patterns and flow. It is a true wavemaker and it can be controlled to make different waves and lower the flow rates. IMO i have koralias and they work, but you get so much more with the Jebao pumps. I am switching my tank (biocube 29) over to one Jebao WP25 with the dimmer mod. I see it works phenominal and is half or slightly more than half the price of a vortech mp10.

Jebo Modes
Press the 'MODE' button to cycle through the selection of functions.
H1 H2 H3: High, constant, non-variable flow (6500 LPH / 4800L / 3200L)
L: Low, constant, non-variable flow at a third of the speed (3000L)
W1: Short pulses which, when timed correctly will create a back and forth motion and form a gentle standing wave in your tank. Adjust the controller to change the speed of the pulses and vary the size of the wave according to your tank.
S1 to S3 Mode: Based on the W1 Wavebox function provides 100% 75% and 50% Wave
W2 & W3: Pump gradually speeds up and slows down incrementally to create a varied flow pattern. Adjustable to form the wave best suited to your tank.
Else: Reef Stream Mode, a mixed, changing pattern that creates a random flow cycle similar to what you would find in a natural reef.
Feed: Press the 'FEED' button once, the blue '10min' light will illuminate indicating that the pump has been stopped for 10 minutes. When the time has elapsed, the light will go off and the pump will be turned back on. Alternatively, press the 'FEED' button again to start the pump.
Lock: To prevent changes from inadvertently occurring by accidentally knocking the adjustable control knob, press and hold the 'FEED' button for 5 seconds. The red 'LOCK' light will illuminate and the control knob will no longer function. Press and hold the 'LOCK' light for a further 5 seconds to disable this feature.
*Night: When the two-pinned sensor is inserted into the two small plugs on the left-hand side of the control box, Night mode will function automatically. The sensor detects when the tank lights go out and slows the pump to half speed. The 'Sensor' light will illuminate when Night mode is in operation. To disable the Night mode function, remove the sensor from the control box.
* Night mode is a new feature intended for use with low output lighting. The sensor can become damaged when used with high output VHO, HQI and LED lighting systems. Customers use the sensor with high output lighting at their own risk. The sensor is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty if used with high output lighting.
