Anyone have a link to that piece?

DC 5V-24V 4A 48W LED Light Dimmer

Lateralus · 07/06/2013, 10:03 PM

I notice that piece is 5v-24v. The other one is 12-24v. Is there a minimal amount of voltage these pumps should run on?

Sacohen · 07/07/2013, 05:18 AM

I don't think that has been really determined, but the # of 12v has been tossed around.

Does anyone have the wiring schematic to be able to hook the WP-40's to an Apex? And can 1 cable run 2 pumps?

Sacohen · 07/09/2013, 07:30 PM

I believe there is one in the WP40 modification thread. I can't find it right now.
You can not control 2 pumps with 1 STOCK controller.
You can control 2 pumps with a third party controller like and Apex or Reef Angel.

I've had mine for about 3 weeks. The power cord went bad on it on the 2nd day. Luckily I had a old one from a laptop. Other than that I'm happy with it and defiantly worth the money

Thx for the help!!!

Anyone have some insight on how i can get my 3 wp40s into night mode? Where do you place your controller so that it gets light during day and just little light at night?

shifty51008 · 07/10/2013, 07:33 PM

Best option is just to order the better senors. Mine are in my stand and the work fine in complete darkness

FlyTekk · 07/10/2013, 07:36 PM

But if they are in the stand how do they know its daytime?

shifty51008 · 07/10/2013, 09:21 PM

My lights are bright enough where light spills over the back of the tank to reach in the stand

DrawnToBeaches · 07/10/2013, 09:35 PM

would one of these be appropriate for a 50g cube on else? maybe even dropped down to 12-16v?

shifty51008 · 07/10/2013, 10:09 PM

I would go with the wp25 on the 50 gal.

DrawnToBeaches · 07/10/2013, 10:13 PM

the reason i ask about the wp40 is the wider flow which is appealing, Is there no way to take it down to about 20-30%? i'm buying both just because I can but it would be nice to run the wp40

shifty51008 · 07/10/2013, 11:39 PM

I dont think thet will run at 20 or 30%. I think 50% is the lowest they will go but not positive

Agree with that I was using one wp40 and it was way to much now I have 2 x wp25 and it is perfect

Sacohen · 07/11/2013, 06:52 AM

I'm running a 40 on my standard 55 gallon tank and it is fine. I have it running at 20% during feeding time, but it is controlled by a Reef Angel, not the standard controller.

So the speed reduction is being done on the control line, not the power line.

I think 50% is about right if you are reducing the current going to the controller, IE a 12v power supply instead of the 24v.

matiLanza · 07/11/2013, 12:34 PM

I purchased the same sensors someone posted earlier, 30 pack off eBay but no luck .. I still have the same problem on darkness and a 470k risistor didn't work either . Help ?

Dactylopterus · 07/11/2013, 01:29 PM

If you use another controller like an APEX you can go as low as 20-30% but this is done providing full 24V to the pump

That is correct, you should not provide less than 12V before the stock controller, 18V is more recomended

DrawnToBeaches · 07/11/2013, 09:52 PM

Apex is over priced IMO. I'd like to see an arduino solution.

DrawnToBeaches · 07/11/2013, 09:53 PM

I will add to my last post it is over priced if all you're getting it for is the pump which I would, it's a beat for the rest of your tank for the money

I got mine today! WooHoo!
