xmai77 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I picked up two and have a fun project with these little guys. Excited to see how these little guys work. Possibly see if we can hack them to work with Storm or Bluefish controllers. -Dave It'd be pretty cool if it worked with the Storm controller! Link to comment
markalot Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I order yesterday, should be getting it tomorrow for my 20 long. This will put Jaebo pumps in every one of my tanks. It comes with the fixed voltage power supply so hopefully W1 af power 3 will be gentle enough. Link to comment
biocubedatx Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 just got my wp-10 today. Replaced my 2 nano 425's and it works great. Cant hear it either I'm thinking about doing this in my neo-nano. How do they compare size wise to the 425? Anything wider than the 425 and it won't fit. Link to comment

A little smaller actually. I posted a side by side pic in the "did anyone get their hands on a Wp-10 yet" thread. Link to comment

Smithjm5 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 So you guys seriously can't hear yours? Even in a quiet room with nothing on? Makes me wonder if I got a dud. Although noise irritates me more than most people. It is not bad by any measure but it is definitely not silent like my koralia power head. My first wp-10 I got was the same way it wasn't ridiculously loud but it was still irritating so I sent it back and ordered another. I got the second one from fish-street.com and it's basically silent.(and the one from fishtreet had the night sensor on the controller) Link to comment

I really wanted a WP25 for my 40breeder but having a quieter cube (and by extension happier wife) may be worth it. Link to comment
biocubedatx Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Thank you both for the reply. I'll for sure swap to Jebao when this mp10wes sells Link to comment
netsecpro Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think I'm going to return mine. There is nothing wrong with it, however I can't seem to find a good spot to place it in my BioCube. My trumpets have not been happy since I put it in, and everywhere I place it, it wants to kick up my gravel and create a mountain. The pump is the only thing I have done/added to the tank so that is why I am attributing that to my unhappy trumpets. Link to comment

Looks like they ship from Hong Kong. I ended up returning mine because of the noise. Gonna give it another go though, the performance and price really impressed me. Link to comment
netsecpro Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I ordered mine from Amazon on a Friday and it was delivered the following Monday, and that was without Prime. Link to comment
kriskristofferzen Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I ordered from amazon on Monday.shipping was a little over 5 bucks. I live in southeast PA, I got my wp10 today! It is tiny! More to come. Looks like it shipped from Illinois. Link to comment

It took like a little less than a week, it would of been faster but i ordered on like a friday so the weekend slowed it down. Link to comment
markalot Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I ordered mine Monday, along with some Acro Power (Amazon) and it arrived today. Now in my 20, W1, S2 power, wirr wirr wirr. Sounds a little louder than my WP25's did when new but it appears to be mostly vibration from the rotor. I expect it will quiet down in a week. Not as loud as my MP10 in wave mode. Link to comment

Why not just get a 12v power supply for it like they do with the WP-25 when it's too much? That will cut the flow rate in half, but you still get to keep all the different modes. Link to comment
ny300z Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 are you guys leaving your tanks on wave mode all the time? just wondering if its good, bad or indifferent to do that? Link to comment
TJ_Burton Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I am actually thinking of grabbing a WP-10 for a coral quarantine system (10 gallon). Might upgrade that idea to a 15 gallon depending on how much this little pump kicks. Link to comment
Nocturnal Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 are you guys leaving your tanks on wave mode all the time? just wondering if its good, bad or indifferent to do that? Mine is on W1 all the time. The way the water in my tank moves I'm getting a good result with that. Else mode is popular but to me a nice back and forth wave is very natural looking and can't be any less beneficial for the corals. Link to comment

And it looks so much better with a wave! Link to comment
treedog5 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm still debating on which is better for my tank, W1 or Else. Can't decide, it appears that the corals get more movement in W1 mode. They look happy either way but I kinda like the wave look going on in the tank. Link to comment
Nocturnal Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 In real reefs I think it depends on where the coral is located. Some places definitely have just a back and forth wave, while others will have that more chaotic else mode style. Link to comment

evilc66 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 http://www.mpja.com/12-Volt-Plug-In-Power-Supply-1A-Hon-Kwang/productinfo/19466%20PS/ I don't guarantee that the plug will match the stock power supply, so some hacking may need to be done, or another power supply sourced. This is just an example. Link to comment
