Jecod CP-40 Cross Flow (knockoff of MaxSpect Gyre)

Coasting · #1 08-25-2016, 10:22 PM

Any update from those using this pump?
I wouldn't mind something a bit more slim with a wider flow area for the back of the tank.
For $130 for a CP-40 I'm definitely up for giving 1 a go.
All my other Jebao stuff seems to be doing awesome.

How much flow is this thing putting out at its lowest speed?

Wondering if anyone has heard anything on the upgrade and we're the best place to purchase it is

I got mine from eBay shipped it to Point Roberts and drove it over as its not that far from my house. I have had it running for about a month on my tank and so far so good, it pushes a great deal of water. It's the only powerhead in my 90g cube although my tank is not long so I don't know how it would do on a 6' tank. So far I am happy with the purchase but time will tell how long it will last. I may pick up another one but will wait abit to see if a version 2 comes out.

I've never had large amounts of flow in any of my tanks, I always worry about having TOO much. So I'm on he fence on if I want to focus on the 40 or the 25. As long as the 40 can be slowed a reasonable amount then I might as well go for that. But there are times my RW8 looks like too much, I never have that thing more then halfway speed.

I found the CPs on Aliexpress. All in with shipping I found $130 for a 25, and $150 for a 40. CAD, shipped to my door in Canada. Haven't checked out Ebay for a cheaper price yet, I've just always had great luck with aliexpress. Pretty sure its mostly all the same sellers on both sites anyway.
Could potentially get it to work out a bit cheaper if people wanted to order together.

I love my cp40 other than the fact I can't seem to get rid of the microbubbles. I have searched and searched and found no solution.... does anyone else have this problem? It's 4-5" beneath the surface of the water so i know it isnt pulling from the surface and when I kill that and only have my other pump running the microbubbles are non existant

Don't have a problem with microbubbles on mine and mine is about 6" below surface. The top is very agitated and has waves.

Get the 40 for sure, you can always turn it down... Is there tax or duties for delivery in Canada?

I've been buying off Aliexpress for a few years now, everything from Smoked tail lights and HIDs for my car to phone chargers and stickers.
Never incurred Duty or taxes. Some stuff takes awhile to show up just depending what plane China Post decides to stick the items on.

I found one, works out to (approx.) $145.51 each if you buy 2. Or $141.81 if you buy 3.... Anyone want to do a group order

Just looks like on this particular item buying multiples makes the shipping slightly cheaper per item.

(Some list free shipping but hide that cost in the item cost, I just look for whatever works out cheaper all in)

Would just have to confirm they have them with the US plug otherwise there are plenty of other sellers on there with them for less then $10 more.
