Hint: Apple products come from China. Other generic companies in China reproduces exactly same apple product ripoffs and don't get sued. But when Samsung make a square with round edge phone, they get sued ;) |

I didn't follow the Samsung case at all so I can't comment there. I'm sure there are generic Chinese knock-offs of Apple products. I would guess that if they tried to market themselves over here Apple would be filing papers fairly quickly. It's hard to sue a company though when the host nation doesn't respect copyright treaties. |
i think people are mad because they fork out top dollar for the tunze and mp's,
then the wp comes out for less then 100 bucks and some say is a better powerhead, i have both and one thing about the wp is that you can angle it wheres as the mp is straight on, i like that the mp power cord is on the ouside where as the cord for the wp is in the tank ya iam just rambling |
Well, back to the original question I have two on a 120 gallon 5 foot tank and I think they are great so far. I did get the adjustable power source but have not used it yet. I have the original power source hooked up on low and they are very powerful. I have been very happy with my purchase so far. They have been running for a month in the new tank. Can be a bit loud on random or wave but I don't really have anything to compare them too other than the small Koralia evo 750's. More power than I would ever need.

^^ this above is all that really matters IMO. D-baggery in marketing practices aside, performance product at Walmart prices.... market says they win. My brand loyalty ends at my wallet. If the companies that I have previously supported can't do better (either in terms of cost or worthwhile features), then that's their loss I guess. The only reason I see myself not buying one of these for my next tank is that I want everything to be hooked up through an Apex controller. If this thing ever gets that kind of a link-up... I will kiss my vortech's goodbye.

they even have a wavebox now called WB-40...:wink:

Very easy with a reef angel. Just get the cable and that's it.
There is already plenty of codes to do what ever you want to do. waves, reef crest, lagoon, etc.. All I did was to buy the cable and plug it in, that's it. I uploaded the codes I wanted to use to my reef angel and it's working well. Things are getting really fun with quite a few people coming up with new codes for these pumpes each weeks. Quote:
|
Do you work for reef angel? :)
Unfortunately I have one of those old school Apex thingys, and not sure there is a cable. Probably will be one day though.. |
I just picked up a second wp40 for my 77g long. One for random, one for wave. So far - I like it. I just wish it was stronger! :lol:

Or is that a hint of sarcasm.... |

I haven't received the second one. I got a second one because just one is not enough. My tank is 60" long, so getting flow from one side to the other is a pain. |
I don't work for them but I am having lots of fun with the RA even tought I know nothing of programming.
I think some people bought the RA cable and adapted it for the Apex. At least I saw people having the Apex controller buying that cable and asking for help in the RA forum. Here is some info on making it work with the Apex controller: http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/...o-wp-40-a.html Quote:

can they hook up like a mp10
|
how does a mp10 hook up like??
The pump is inside the tank, no part is outside. Quote:

Just received two 40's last week, and they are amazing so far. 140 for both plus shipping. Only mistake was to not order the variable controller as two of them are way too much water movement for my 160 gallon. I've since ordered, should be getting them in 1 week. As far as noise, they are way quieter than the vortech 25's when they were cranked. Highly recommend this product.
I might add that the light sensor that is supposed to reduce the speed when light is turned down doesn't really work for me. If completely dark the powerheads run at full speed. |
Did you plug in the little thingy? if not then the night mode will not be active.
Also they say it is only to be with low output light. Now who's going to be able to use that??? since that include LED, MH and T5HO, the only light that can be used with this feature is probably power compact. Pretty useless I think. On the other end, if you have a controller, you could use what ever force you want and what ever pattern you want with them. I dim them at night so I get like a reef crest mode but much lower in flow. Quote:
|
can't you put something over the light thing so its not so bright, like a semi transperent box or something
|
Yeah, I plugged that little module in. It's a litte weird though. In dim light, I believe it's supposed to work in a less powerful state, but completely black, it runs at full blast. Shouldn't it work when there are no lights on, it's in night mode, or less powerful? I just got an email saying today they've changed the controller so W1 can run in 50% or 75%, so you wouldn't need a variable power module.

it needs more light, or it runs at full blast. |
Well they warn about using this feature with high output ligth will break it, so I am guessing unless you have very low lights like power compact, that your night mode is broken already. They mention that it is never to be used with high output lights or it might break.
I think it's just totally USELESS. If you don't have an aquarium controller, maybe you should get one and control your pump through it. Or maybe get the Jebao power supply with different voltage and switch it to a less powerful voltage? Quote:

I got an update email from fish street about new controller with new modes with reduced flow
Here's a link to the new controller. http://www.fish-street.com/jebao_wp-..._category_id=0 |

if people are interested i can definitely bring some in. Let me know and i will do what i can to help.
|
Dunno if it's true but I was told that the controller with reduced output was taken out of the market because there was problem with the pump burning with it, so they stop producing it until they could test a new one and sell it.
The new one is supposed to be out soon, maybe another week or two. I am waiting for mine as soon as they come out. |
Quote:
maybe you can post a link for us? |
What I wanna know is how to wire it up to my tunze 7092 wave controller so it's on the opposite cycle of the Nano Wavebox B-)

Haha I laughed so hard the first time I seen that video, In his defense he got some of the boxes on the plane haha!

Unbelievable! I feel like I am watching a bad episode of boarder security. I seen some bad freight handling but this is got to be the worst of them all!

I was told this by the person who own the store where I bought the pump. She's chinese and have a contact with the company. I was not sure if she was telling the truth and I am nor sure now with what you said.
She has the new controller on order for me and as soon as it gets in I will go get it. Quote:
