Ross' 67 Gallon Attempt At Recreating A Reef

[Ross]

Last night, I finally got around to installing my new Jebao WP-40 from Nick at http://www.ReefSupplyCanada.com.

Wow does this thing ever move water!! 3400gpm indeed.

Previously I had 2 Koralia Evo 1050's and a Tunze 6014. (2575 gph total)

The amount of crud that it has blasted off my rocks is insane compared to the trio of other power heads.

It is quiet. Not Tunze quiet, but definitely not a MP-40 buzzing away either.

Size wise its about as big around as a hardball. I'm not going to forget its in the tank that's for sure.

I'm not a huge fan of the twist off end to the unit. It will get gummed up and glued in place much like the 1st gen Koralia's did. So I have to remember to clean this thing more often or be prepaired to soak it in vinegar over night to open it up.

Not to be forgotten is the wave modes.
On full power, stand back because water is headed over the edges.

I am digging the back and forth motion the corals have now. A lot more dynamic looking vs everything just getting blasted against one side and then back the other way when my apex switched the modes.
I wish that the controller had a slower mode to it than it does. My lps is cycling back and forth a few times a second and its not as soothing to watch as a reel reef cycling slowly.

Perhaps I can get my Corky Finger to rock back and forth like a metronome??

Eventually, I'm going to mod the cord to tie into my Apex VDM module. Sounds like a winter project to me. The kind of things that should be done when its cold and dark outside.
This will allow me the freedom to slow it down to a calming pace.
