The Official Jebo WP40 picture & review thread!!

[jbaeza83]

man, i want one now! Looks legit and solid performance. However, anyone concerned about reliability and safety concerns of this being a generic chinese rip off?

I've just had bad experience particularly the magnets being poorly sealed. I bought one of those generic koralia pumps and i notice that the magnet puck start to bulge and rust over a period of time.

Plus, Jebao sounds like Jebo if not the same people who did a spin-off company and we all know the reputation they're known for.

Sorry for being dark cloud, just voicing concerns and two cents. However, i would love to play with one myself.

As far as ive know no one has had any real issues with them except for a few light sensors going out but they know about that and they are including a replacement sensor with the pumps. The thread on RC is going on 52 pages with a lot of happy reefers. Your welcome to stop by my place and check it out if you'd like. LMK.

Did anyone soak this thing first? This thing reeks of new Chinese plastic.

My acrylic is .80" thick will the magnet hold to that?

Got mine last week just need to set up my 75g now

I doubt it. Its as strong as a koralia magnet

I sent that question to Eric, I will let you know when he gets back to me.

These ph's seemed to move some serious flow.. i see these in the 300's future real soon

Thanks. Probably PM to me. If the magnet will hold on 1" acrylic ill buy one on the other thread. Thanks

Just installed my second pump. Pump on the left makes the rolling waves effect I like and the one on the right is in ELSE mode making all sorts of wonderflow throughout the entire tank. I positioned the controllers in the back corners of my canopy where the LED light shines out from. When the whites come on the light output is bright enough to start the pumps. When the whites turn off to blue before night time the light output is dim enough for the pumps to go into night time mode. I may not need to hook these up to a controller anymore. I am pleased with how they are now. Enjoy!

Which mode is everyone running?
Ive got mine on the ELSE mode as it seems random.....waves here and there with some moments of calm.

I had mine on L, but I've been running it on ELSE for the last few hours and I like it.

You wanna see something cool? If you feed frozen mysis/brine cubes feed your tank while the pumps are in ELSE mode. I did and I swear not a single piece of food hit the sand bed it was all suspended in the water column! Thought that was pretty cool lol.

I feel ripped off buying an mp40 after getting one of these suckers!

I've never owned an ecotech or a tunze, but for the price I paid for the two pumps I can't imagine anything better than this. If these pumps prove to be reliable in the long run I for see a shift in the cost to have a reef tank.

Ooooooh looky looky here....

how did you get them to sync to your apex?

 

[andi02]

Would this pump be to much for a 30g?

Not my video and he is using an early cable build that will be released by Reef Angel. And yes unless you get a multi voltage power supply it will be too much flow.

I am curious as to exactly what is needed to run these off an apex. Talk to me like I am 4 links to the parts would help as well
