i have a 48x24x14 with a wp40. it produced too much flow so i had it run on L mode and it was fine. today my universal adapter arrived and im running it at 15v and W1 mode now. seems perfect with the much smaller waves its making. i have another sunsun 5000l/hr wave maker at the back blowing at rocks the wp40 cant reach. generally i think if you have an open island/simplistic scape. you can get away with a wp40 + a smaller normal wavemaker.

I don't keep SPS corals, but I don't think it would be to much in a 110 gallon tank.
I have 1 in a 55 with mainly softies and it was too much for it. I dialed it down and it very nice now, everyone is happy and big.

I'd wait for the WP25.

I hate to see this thread close

Off topic like this will not close a thread.

I have a 90G( 48 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 25 3/8) and love the WP40 on full 24V. I also have an 1150 & a 1500 koralia(that will be replaced by WP25's eventually) flowing behind my rock work.
I run it on else mode & have no issues with sand storms or too much flow. One of my clowns likes to "surf" the end of the stream at night when just the blues are on.
I'll probably end up pointing one of the WP25s towards the front (opposite the WP40) as I wont need that much flow in behind the rock work.
I keep mainly zoas & LPS with a few sticks, but im prepping to make the switch to majority SPS with a little zoa garden in the corner. but I still have great growth on my zoas & lps despite all this flow.

Any pix of your tank ?

Just ordered my RA+, I can't wait to play around with it and my wp40s!

[Sacohen]

I hope to get to mine this weekend.
I'm reading up on running the WP40 on it now.

[rrasco]

I finally got my RA hooked up last night. I did not get to hook up the WP40s yet, spent all my time configuring it and re-wiring my electrical, hopefully tonight I'll get to it.

[Sacohen]

Yeah. I spent the day yesterday configuring it at work.
Now I need to re-wire my electrical over the weekend and once I get the main things like the lights and pumps working, I'll focus on the WP40 and my de-nitrification chamber.

My lights are simple on/off no LEDS's to ramp up or down yet.

[rrasco]

I have the dimming expansion, but for now, I am going to keep running my lights off the controller I built for them. I didn't even do any special programming, just re-wired everything to look nice and go through the RA relay box. I'll need a 2nd one for all my stuff. I did setup my wifi attachment though.

FYI, I believe the Vortech profiles are now part of the RA library, so you don't have to include the functions, just run them. Did you get RA's Jebao cable?

[Sacohen]

Yes I got the Jebao cable.
I think I can get away with 1 relay box for now.
All my pumps except the skimmer and the WP40 can run off 1 port with a power strip.
I know we are both excited about setting the WP40 up on the Reef Angel, but we are getting off topic.

PM me if you want.

[rrasco]

Haha, I'm just gearing up so I can post a video of the RA controlling my WP40s.

[barry_keith]

The cables were a must! I'm with you rrasco. Now I have to decide if I want to part with my apex
Back on topic now...

[dan_mudder]

I received my WP-40 today, and I cannot be happier. The flow is great, and its all I will need in my 90 gallon. I have a mixed reef with a few softies on the opposite side of the tank and I love how they sway in the tank. My only little gripe is the light sensor I ordered doesn't say in place very well, so I'll have to trim the wire ends down a bit and hopefully I don't have to solder it in.

I have a question about power supplies. If a different 24V supply is used, does it matter if the supply can supply much more power than the stock power brick? I'm assuming the pump will just take what it needs, but I don't know.

[youngguns27]

I am going to give it a shot since I was looking into the tunzes since I wanted to spend bulk of my budget on skimmer and lights.

Yes, I think that's right.

Power, meaning voltage or current? It will only take what current it needs, but it will supply the output voltage of the power supply no matter what. You could fry stuff, mainly the motor because the voltage would be passed through straight to that. I don't know the limits of the motor.

The controller has a voltage regulator to drop it down to 5V for the IC and dimming signal, increasing the voltage through this shouldn't break the controller, but it will cause the vreg to burn off excess voltage, creating more heat.

The power supply is constant voltage and variable current. As rrasco said it will vary the current (amps) until it reaches the power requirement (watts) the pump is drawing. No danger of burning up the pump unless you exceed the 24v limit (with a different power supply)

[Nighttrooper]

This will allow you to vary the flow for the wp40

[Nighttrooper]

The site wont let me delete my previous post but there is a adjustable power supply you can buy with the wp40 which allows you to vary the for the pump.
Check you the fish-street site for more detail

This item is only For Jebao WP-40 / WP-25 Replacement Pump Opertation Power Supply Only

Specification

Power 110V to 240V Voltage

Can Set for 12V /15V /16V /18(18.5V) / 19(19.5V) 20/21V / 24V Voltage

Customer can adjustable to Power Supply voltage on the Pump if too much flow

[HippieSmell]

Good, because the power supply I'm looking at pumps out 12 amps at 24V. I'll fuse it too, so no major danger.

[salty joe]

It's my understanding that if your PS is 24V, it won't hurt a thing if it puts out more amps than the pump is calling for.

A 24V PS putting out fewer amps than the pump is calling for is a whole nuther story.

[rrasco]

I finally have my WP40s connected to a controller. I have them running in a mode similar to reefcrest. My window of power is 15-45%, they ramp up and down in this range. Anything more than that and some of my LPS start getting thrashed around.
