Jabao pumps

I can't see the videos.

I'll purchase the wp10 soon since the wp40 worked so well for my previous 120g tank.

For some reason I can't see the whole post I put up with the videos, I'll try again

Nice waves.

I'm probably also going to buy the jebao DC3000 pump in addition to the WP10 twin linkage controller bundle. Very affordable IMO even if it last only a year.

if you get the link controller can you post a review? i have a wp40 and i'm considering a second. i might just buy the controller package and move the existing wp40 to another tank, especially since you need a new power supply.. so i'm interested in if the controller is worth the hassle or not...

 

[BARRON]

I got the dc-12000 but haven't hooked it up yet. Still waiting to upgrade my sump. Also got another wp 60 but there is so much flow with one I don't think I need it. Might get a wp-40 instead.

Was just looking at them from eBay tonight as a matter of fact! Rob at red c has one in his 150g and it does great! Thinking about ordering 2

I agree the vortechs are loud and run very warm also I feel have a really weak magnet tend to fall of easily. My mp10 is nice but not worth the money

 

[BARRON]

i didn't know they had link controllers.

I think its actually FishStreet that does the controllers....

I ended up not buying the link controller due to long wait for back order and higher shipping costs. I went to Amazon last weekend and bought 2 wp10 for $120 something dollars last weekend.

I got my WP10 package today. Tested one on my 20g tank and it was Amazing. Had to set it to the lowest setting with the pump pointing slightly upwards to prevent the corals from being blasted too hard.

On another topic, I got this news from another reef forum:
I'm writing this as a heads up to others looking at buying a DC Return pump for their sump. CAREFUL!

RLSS Inc of H2O Canada manufactures the Waveland series of pumps. Their first generation of pumps had a fatal flaw whereas the onboard controller would crap out. This would result in a total failure or a single pole failure (1 of 3 poles) resulting in a 33% power loss and difficulty in restarting the pumps. As soon as they realized the problem they stopped making the pumps and redesigned them. There is now a Gen 2 pump out there and a newer controller is forthcoming. All 2nd gen pumps have a 30 minute feed timer. All gen 1 pumps have a 10 minute feed timer.

After they stopped manufacturing the pumps, the Chinese manufacturer rebranded the pumps as DIABLO, JABAO and SPEEDWAVE. I Had a SPEEDWAVE 2640 (which was originally a Waveland 10000), and it lasted from last July 30 to just after Christmas. It was an awesome up right up until it failed.

I would recommend you don't buy the 1st Gen pumps. Avoid the rebranded names. My distributer said they had almost complete customer failures and the designer in RLSS in Ontario gave me the whole low down on the problem and how they fixed it.

DONT BUY A DC PUMP WITH A 10 MINUTE FEED TIMER!!!

Interesting.
I was looking at the Diablo DC 10500. It says on Marine Depot's website, it's the one with the 10 minute feed timer.
Guess I should reconsider

Do you know if anything was mentioned about the other models like the dc 12000? Or was it just the 1000?

I read this warning on the Aquarium Advice Forum, you might check there.

Great, I'm running a Diablo DC-5500 with ten minute feed button..

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be looking for a new return pump to have on hand just in case!

 

[elmexotics]

Digital Aquatics just release a cool new interface that can be used on any system with a 0-10v output. It is set up for 2 pumps and uses the power supply that comes with the pump. They are sending instructions on how to use it with other systems too.

I ordered to wp25s with the dual controller from fish street... they've been running for a week. The dual controller is great although the cords are a bit short and I have to figure out a better way to mount mine... they are running in my 75 and I have them turned almost the whole way down because if I don't they will literally blow things off the rocks...

 

[Aquanaut]

They sell extensions too. Is yours the 2014 model. Site says FS8000.

When I set up my 180g in February I ended with 2 Jebao WP25. Originally I ordered Jebao WP40...the size on on this thing is so much bigger than WP25. I only have 20" from front to back of my tank, the WP40 just look too big. In the long run I don't know how long they last but definitely it's a great price! I have a Vortech WP40 for my 40g frag tank, it's 5 years old and still working great.

I always think we need more flow, our tank is 90 gallon and we only have 2 25wp
