So its been a little over a week now since i received my Jebao wp 40 and I wanted to post yet another review of these products and my opinion on them.
To start off, I think these products are awesome. Since I installed it last week the polyp extension on all my sps has gotten much better and the tank appears to be a lot cleaner. I run my wp 40 on W1 as i see it as the best mode out of all of them. I also have the newer controller that has 3 different speed modes i assume, so i run mine on S2 (s1 lowest s3 fastest). I have a 90 gallon (standard size 48" x 18") and i have various sps, lps, and zoas. I did leave my 2 koralias (1 is 1050 gph and the other is 1450 gph) in the tank with the jebao. However, when my Jebao is on one of the koralias (1450) does not turn on but the 1050 gph which is on the opposite side of the tank does stay on for 15 seconds then off for a minute. I do have an apex so these programs are easy for me to run. I have the Jebao wavemaker turn on at about 10AM and turn off at 1130PM at night, when the Jebao is off both koralias are on opposite programs to create a smaller, consistent flow. I dont leave the jebao on all the time because i feel its just way to powerful to run 24/7 and plus the corals do need a slower current at night to relax. I do know the wp's come with a light sensor but have read tons of reviews that they fail so i just assume use my apex
.
I have been in the hobby for a little over ten years and when i started i used the basic powerheads from aqua clears all the way up to the tunze's (i have not owned or used the ecotechs but heard great things about them). I have never been a huge fan of spending hundreds of dollars for a single powerhead (tunze/ecotechs) so i use to cheap out and use the koralias with a lot of success. Now with these wp 40's, they are a game changer. For the money they are awesome. I paid $83 for mine and it has been almost the best purchase i have made in the hobby. Very powerful and the controller they come with are perfect for dialing in a perfect wave in the tank. I cant speak for the mp powerheads because i have never used them or owned them (never will either at $450 for a single one!) but in my opinion i believe the wp's are just as good as the tunze's and i would highly recommend them to anyone that wants champagne taste on beer money.
