Jebao WP25 Information

[Sacohen]

These pump are very quiet.
There may be a period of about 2-3 weeks where they are a bit noisy, but mine can not be heard unless I put my ear up to the magnet and even then it is pretty low.

I ordered a wp25 for my 20h. I have a few questions.

1.) If I set it on a timer to completely turn off at night will it lose the settings after being off for 10 hours?

i run 1 for 1 hour a day, it "remembers" the last setting

2.) Have you had any failures of your dimmers for voltage control?

i run a dimmer on the the one i run for 1 hour a day, no issues (2 months old)

Anyone try to mod these for a wider flow?

It has been talked about and some suggestions were thrown around.
I thought that Ron Reefman was going to do some experimenting, but I never saw anything more about it.


The discussion started at post #1284 in this thread. (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=21666737&postcount=1284)

 

[ptreef]

yeah I remember the discussion, just curious to see if anyone finally did any and if they worked?

 

[Sacohen]

To my knowledge nothing was done.

Will no other front grill fit from another pump?

 

[Sacohen]

No the pumps are very different in size.
If you look at your pump the front or top part twists off to expose the impeller. The other pumps (40 & 60) are much larger and you could not put that front portion on the body of the 25.

This would have to modified in some way, but no-one has really messed around with it.

does anyone know the best placement for a 56 gallon corner tank?? just got my wp25 today and love it!

 

[Sacohen]

Every tank is going to be different depending on your rock work and your obstacles.

This is a flat front corner or bow front corner?

On a corner tank I would probably place it on one of the side walls and aim it towards the front and let it bounce off the front and make some very random movement.

I won't call mine the best placment but I have a 92 gallon corner tank and have two WP25s one at each upper corner pointing at center of tank. The nice thing about the WP25 is you can pretty much point it at any direction that you want. I think it is best to change direction of flow from time to time.

my rock work is probably similar to most corner tanks. it is a bow btw. it goes up 3/4 of the way up from the outside fronts to the center. plus i have a 560 gph return.

its kicking up a lot of sand lol. i have it pointing kinda up as well.

I have two tanks one 125g and a 92g corner tank. You are right I never made a video with two WP25s in my corner tank. I did make a video in the 125g tank when I tested one single WP25 when I got it in May.

The 125 sps tank.

 

[Kyuss]

I'm debating on a pair of these for my FOWLR tank since they are one of the last pieces I need to get it FINALLY up and running. It's a 150G (72x18x29), do you guys think the WP25 will work ok with that size of a tank? As I said it's going to be FOWLR (triggers, harlequin tusk, maybe a butterfly) so I'm thinking I don't need any more flow?

 

[invertinoob]

probably good for one look up wp25 on you tube and there is a wp 25 that is sending good waves on a 125 sps tank.
