spazizz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 To those who have wp10s. Is a wp10 going to be to strong for 5-7 gallon tank? Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not if you run it at 10%... Link to comment
Nocturnal Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If you have a heavy rock structure you may be able to get away with it on the 50% mode. I stuck mine in a fairly empty 10 gallon and at 50% it created a bit of a sandstorm. Link to comment
Javious Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not if you run it at 10%... If I am not mistaken the WP-10 only has 3 power settings, 100%, 75% and 50%. Everything I have read about the WP line of pumps is that they are more powerful than people think. All the anecdotal evidence I have seen would suggest that a WP-10 in that small of a tank would be too much. Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 That was the joke. Link to comment
Javious Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm a little slow on the uptake, I get it now. Link to comment
duncan-junkie Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I saw a guy on youtube that swapped out the power supply with a 12V, and he had it in a BC29. From what he said, it was way too powerful with the origional power supply, and created a big sand storm in his tank. Now with the 12V power supply, it cut the power down by 50%, and on the lowest setting in wave mode, it seemed to be working well for him. Those Jebao WP's move some water!!! Link to comment
spazizz Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 What if the I cut the impeller blades? Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What if the I cut the impeller blades? Don't cut the blades. You will never get it exact enough to prevent vibration. Link to comment
spazizz Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Any suggestions on what i should get instead? Link to comment
spazizz Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 After seeing this, I may still try the WP10. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It will work as a wavemaker. Other modes will be useless though. Link to comment
duncan-junkie Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think I'm gonna go with one of these for my biocube......fish-street.com also sells adjustable power supply's for the WP's, so either way you'll be good Link to comment
spazizz Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 That's what I was planning, what other modes are you referring to? It will work as a wavemaker. Other modes will be useless though. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 That's what I was planning, what other modes are you referring to? else mode aka reef crest that is popular on mp10's. Link to comment

spazizz Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 My wp10 just shipped yesterday from NJ. Link to comment
spazizz Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just got my pump today, it's really tiny. I'm running it on W1 S3 dial about half way in the left side corner of my 5.5g. If I get the dial just right I can get a nice wave but my tank starts sloshing every where It's very quiet though. I wouldnt say this pump is all that powerful but the dimensions of the 5.5g and minimal rocks make it a bit hard finding the perfect placement. Link to comment
lookingsexual Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 if you want to lower the power on the WP wavemakers(ALL of them) you have to find a power supply adapter that is less than 24V. on all the jebao wp wavemakers: 24V = 100% full power (HIGHEST SETTING) 18V = 75% power (MIDDLE SETTING) 12V = 50% power (LOWEST SETTING) 6V = 25% power for example: if you use 18V power adapter 18V @ HIGHEST setting (75% power) 12V @ MIDDLE setting (50% power) 6V @ LOWEST setting (25% power) Link to comment
spazizz Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I just tried a few different power supplies I had laying around. 5v didn't work at all, 9v powered on but the impeller couldn't spin and the 12v I found was the same. 10v worked but W2 W3 and Else didn't function properly(no wave making). if you want to lower the power on the WP wavemakers(ALL of them) you have to find a power supply adapter that is less than 24V. on all the jebao wp wavemakers: 24V = 100% full power (HIGHEST SETTING) 18V = 75% power (MIDDLE SETTING) 12V = 50% power (LOWEST SETTING) 6V = 25% power for example: if you use 18V power adapter 18V @ HIGHEST setting (75% power) 12V @ MIDDLE setting (50% power) 6V @ LOWEST setting (25% power) Link to comment
