tibbsy07 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I like the video. I'm interested in dimensions, gph, etc. Can't wait to see more info! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 if its like $200 that would be pretty good. but what model would be in the $200 the one that would compete in power with the Mp40 or the smallest one starting at $200ish if its the smallest one at that price then I dont know if I would be interested I doubt that the smaller models will be that much less expensive. The control scheme and such will be the same between models more than likely, so I wouldn't expect the smaller models to shave a lot off the pricetag. Interzoo starts today in Germany, though, so you'll start seeing more data come forth about them. Link to comment
Archaic37 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Judging by the 5 models they posted this is the second to largest one. Creating whirlpools on the end of a 5 foot tank is insane! Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Looks interesting, I wonder how long it would take to clean, LOL, just the way my mind works, sorry Link to comment
Archaic37 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Looks interesting, I wonder how long it would take to clean, LOL, just the way my mind works, sorry I agree. I would hope that the clear covers on each end could unscrew/pop off and you could easily clean the props and cover Look at the first image on coralvues site. If you zoom in on the clear covers near the motor it looks like it is threaded Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm going to need one of these in a nano size. Yup. Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm going to need one of these in a nano size. Yup. This ^^ but super nano for me please, kthx Link to comment
NirvanaandTool Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Oh this looks awesome. Definitely interested. Link to comment
masterbuilder Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Assuming the ball has a radii of 1.9cm (.75"), it has a volume of 28.96 cubic centimeters. Volume*speed=cubic centimeters/sec. ......................... Just kidding...couldn't resist Link to comment
lil0618 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I want this but can't afford it Link to comment

I want this but can't afford it If you could afford a jebao then you could afford a Riptide, wink wink. Link to comment

Riddler05 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 If you could afford a jebao then you could afford a Riptide, wink wink. Now Im really excited to see when this comes out. If its priced that competatively I think these things may fly off the shelfs. Link to comment
05XRunner Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 If you could afford a jebao then you could afford a Riptide, wink wink. I like the sound of that. I cant wait till these come out. I am ready to give one a try Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 If you could afford a jebao then you could afford a Riptide, wink wink. A WP10 is like $60 right? Very very interested in the smallest model if that price holds true. Control via iPhone is a huge plus. Link to comment

Archaic37 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 New math this is correct I think. Velocity*area of ping pong=volumetric velocity (cm^3/sec) Convert to cm^3/hr convert to GPH The length of the unit appears to be 1 foot (31 cm) and its diameter appears tobe the same as the ball. So it takes about 7.75 balls next to eachother to cover the length of the Riptide. GPH*7.75=GPH of pump Undertow GPH 3620 Top Flow GPH 6495-7890 These numbers seem a lot more accurate than before. This means that there is about a 45 times turn over rate in an empty 150G tank. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 how much??? I wonder what the price point will be? I assume 200ish?You're in the ballpark, significantly cheaper than the MP40. Chris If you could afford a jebao then you could afford a Riptide, wink wink. Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 WTB more info about models Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Can't wait for errbady in the tank to go Link to comment
thesmallerthebetter Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 These look phenomenal and you can bet i will be outfitting a couple of the smaller systems at our public aquarium with these for experimentation! Link to comment
