Yeah, I know... I posted individual coral pics a while back, but not a FTS. I don't have a good cam right now, and my iPad just doesn't cut it. But one of these days, will make an effort again... Of course, you can always drop by and see how all your frags (mini colonies now) are doing...

Ok, packing up the last of the orders and have a bit of an issue. I was send an extra case of wp25s and 1 short of wp40s. Is there anyone that is considering that a wp40 may be to big and wants to swap for a wp25? or someone that can wait a week for more wp40s to arrive?? anyone that can wait or willing to swap to the wp25 will get some free goods with their light or good bit of store credit(if you are wanting to buy something in future). If not i will just pack up all until they are gone. I am hoping someone is setting up a tank or going on holidays and can wait so i don't have to randomly shaft someone with more wait. Sorry for any inconvenience and please pm me if you can save the day.

Thanks

Nick, I can wait, and I'll actually be in Kelowna on the 29th for a week (coming from Edmonton).

If the two that I ordered are enough to help you out, you can hold off on mine. I can pick them up that week, or wait till till a week later. (I need them the week of August 15th - when I'm doing the tank install (and taking possession of the house )).

If I can get a confirmation on the diameter of the output nozzle @ 55mm then that's enough for now for the tank builder to make me a hole


Cheers!

These are the new versions yes? (with the variable speed too?)

I assume my WP40's are the new version, as I noticed they don't exactly match the enclosed instruction sheet. My controller has 3 constant speed levels (H1, H2, H3) while the instructions only list 2 (H, L). And the W1 pulse control has 3 speed positions as well (S1, S2, S3). So that gives you a few speed options.

I'm running a couple pumps in the bath tub right now. They seem to work well. I do notice, though, the pulse duration knob doesn't seem to give much range for a wave duration cycle.

I also have the Coralife Wavemaker pumps (DC5800) and their pulse cycle is up to 60 seconds. I found that on the short cycle (about 5 seconds) it was too hard on the pumps (ramping up from low power to full blast), and I had wear on the shafts and bushings. But Coralife replaced them (lifetime warranty), and I now run them at the longer cycle, and they seem to be holding up OK for now.

So I hope these WP40s are tough enough to handle a short high powered pulse duration (no power to full every few seconds). They are cheap, though, so not a big loss if they don't last too long.

I got an extra wp40 if you need it Nick. LMK

[Reef Pilot]

Nick, how many do you need? I have 4 WP40s and was planning to deploy them all right away. But I could hold off on 2 of them for a month or so, if you are desperate. LMK.

My two 25's on opposite end of my 90 kicked quite a storm when I put them in yesterday. Way more flow than my Koralia's. Nick, if you get some more 40's before the 24th, I'm going down to Vancouver and can deliver them for anyone that holds off.
