Jebao WP60

[rhinonm]

Rhinonm,
You have one and you stated you have not used anything to lower the flow, but I purchased 2 for my 180 gal. and I think it is a little over kill and I don't want to blow the fish around the tank. Am I correct? or am I just over thinking it?

I only use W1 @ the lowest speed (s3). Anything else is too bukkoo. I have the pump on a simple timer to run 8 hrs a day (daylights hrs). I run two tunze 6095 on pulse 24 hrs a day. The w1 setting gives a nice wave action during the day. The wave is a more "back & forth" action as opposed to a constant blow with other settings.

Tank in a rimless 48x36x24

I am building a 265 gallon tank, 84x24x30, how many should I get?

2 would be needed due to the length. I have 1 on a 48 L.

Interested to hear if 2 of these is indeed too much flow for a 6ft 180g and if I need to look back at the WP40's.

 

[rhinonm]

Id buy the wp-60 and dial it down if needed. Its easier to dial back than dial forward. Since these are DC you can always lower the voltage if needed.

I don't have much sand in my tank but what I did is now piled up in 2 spots basically from the wp60 and it did get a little crazy at first even on speed 2 in exactly the same spot a wp40 had been, everything is good now so 2 wp60's would get the 180g flowing big time.

I only have one wp60 but I also have mp40's and a wp40 on my 180g and flows looking great.

Hey thanks for the input. My tank is 1" also. Is the attachment/ magnet holding the pump in place ok with 1" thick material? Thanks,---Rick

No its not. I put glue on the pump mount to hold it in place. Its on the back wall so Im not worried if I need to take it down and leaves a blemish.

rhinonm,... thanks for the input. I think read on the wp40 thread that guys with 1" tanks were getting stronger magnets off of ebay. I have a couple extra pairs of glass cleaning mags. I'll try.---Rick

Yes there are.
Did you even try to look for it?

 

[chercm]

Yes there are.

yes i tried to look but i am referring to those with the corals in the tank .

 

[Sacohen]

I haven't seen any with corals.

These are really cool, I am going to have to consider a pair for my 150. Can these be synced up in any way or do you just have to play around with the settings until it works out?

 

[e55driver]

Do you guys think a 25 will be to big for a 40 gallon sps tank?

They can be synced up using a 3rd party controller like and Apex or Reef Angel.
I think I remember reading that if you start them at the same time and have the same settings that they stay pretty much in sync.

Do you guys think a 25 will be to big for a 40 gallon sps tank?

I think it would be unless you put a dimmer on it or control it with a 3rd party controller to slow it down.
