I was thinking of starting out with 2 on each end... but might need something smaller for dead spots.

to be honest I couldn't say what the average would be unless I knew the code they used. but a guess would be about 7000lph.

2 wp40's on each end should work also, I just went with the 25's on the back to help with the random movements all through out the tank. like I said I am just guessing lol.

I am sure someone with a bigger tank that has used these will chime in with their thoughts.

If High means 3200GPH and Low is 1/3 or 1000GPH, I would assume ELSE output will fluctuate between 1000 - 3200GPH.

Tank's being built this week... seeing if I should wait for a bigger Jebo or just get WP40s...

Will just use 2 Sicce 4000s while the tank is cycling and go from there when I'm getting closer to moving new and existing livestock in.

Would be nice to hear somebody with 8ft+ tanks experience with the WP40s. I'm sure there is a post in here, just a lot of pages to go through.

there is a video of 1 wp40 on a 8' frag tank but only shows the top water movement

shifty51008 · 05/28/2013, 10:15 AM

and here is one on a 265 gal tank 7ft long by 24" deep by 31" high..

offshored · 05/28/2013, 10:18 AM

Well I guess 4 should do pretty well

Will just need to see where my dead spots are and get some additional pumps.

shifty51008 · 05/28/2013, 10:20 AM

I would agree that 4 pumps all on else mode would make quite a bit of movement in the tank

That's what I have and dual WP40 were too much. Even dialed back. The problem with them was I couldn't dial them back far enough to not disturb some of my LPS, mainly big frogspawn and brains. You could try, lots of variables to account for. Worst case, you have a spare.

I am not planning on running them at the same time. 6 hours each alternating between the 2 to simulate tidal flow

that's a good idea! I could do that with my apex by just using on/off or even oscillating...

cool thanks!

Cool idea, I like that a lot. Simulate the tides and create flow for both ends to better get some flow to everybody. Thanks for sharing!

shifty51008 · 05/28/2013, 11:48 AM

If people were to run 2 pumps but only 1 at a time but useing a timmer and not a controller would the pumps come back on with the same setting?

treetopflyn · 05/28/2013, 11:58 AM

I am also planning on using my reef angel to have the flow slowly increase over the 6 hours and having a slack tide at the end of the 6 hours

Yes!

cichlid1098 · 05/28/2013, 12:09 PM

I have 4 on my 60x36x25. Two alternate with a JBJ wave maker one is always on and the one I set to w1 mode comes on with my lights and I have not had any lose the settings.

I think there is already a mode set up in the Reef Angel for this.
It is either Reef Crest, Tidal Swell Mode, or Tide Mode.

I actually took notice of that this weekend, after power loss, the jebao controller retained the last setting it was on.

Tidal Swell Mode.

treetopflyn · 05/28/2013, 01:12 PM

Cool

Sacohen · 05/28/2013, 01:19 PM

There have been some reports (2 I think) of the controller not retaining the previous mode it was in after a power loss and returning to W1.

The default mode is actually the H or High mode that it will return to. It happened to me when I set my variable PS too low like less than 16V.

SimonSKL · 05/28/2013, 01:42 PM

The flexibility of having two WP40s or WP25s in creating random flow, tidal flow, and alternating flow is just endless

rrasco · 05/28/2013, 03:44 PM

I powered mine off and on and it stayed in else mode.

Sacohen · 05/28/2013, 04:37 PM

Yeah I said it has only happened to a couple of people and they may have been using them at a reduced voltage like SimonSKL.

chrislPa · 05/28/2013, 05:05 PM

I run mine at full power. Using a RK controller to cut power at night. It may go a week at a time and retain the setting I run on. Then the next couple of days it will reset. Seems to be hit or miss.
