    Todd, you really don't want waves all the time anyway. On "else" it really doesn't make "waves". It creates a "havoc" type flow but doesn't really do that much with the water line. You have to actually try to get it to make waves before you really start getting the motion. I'll make a vid tomorrow and show you. Stay tuned.

    Sweet another video!

    Daniel,
    I know you have a 120g. 4x2x2. How do you think it would do in my 125g 60"x19x25?

    I think it would rock it, to be honest. There have been a couple of times I thought it would be nice to have the variable voltage control so I could dial it back for w1 mode. I would add it and point those koralias into the rock to alleviate any low flow spots back there. (I believe it was you with some koralias)

    That it was. I will definitely have to play around with it once I get it. Won't be able to order for a couple weeks but am really excited. Really looking forward to getting this now.

    Todd;

    You can get the wave down pretty low, but I'm sure if you have a controller like a Reef Keeper you could also program it to shut off the WP-40 when your ATO is running, but I guess there are other reasons you have the high level shut on the tank I don't know your set up and I don't have an ATO yet myself.

    From previous posts I thought the wp40 cannot be controlled by a reef angel. From conversations with Todd, he has the high water shut off for piece of mind. For the "just in case" an his ATO is in his sump which I again believe is in his basement.
    If I am wrong Todd please correct me.

    Hey daniel,

    Are you still liking the wp40? I just ordered one from the seller you got yours from. I'll be asking ?'s once it comes in if you don't mind. I have a 75 gallon that it's going in so it should do well hopefully. Then the 2 750 Koralias can go.

    Thanks for the nice thread on these.

    The WP40 CAN be controlled by a Reef Angle.
    I don't have one, but I have seen plenty of posts on another forum that says it is working.
    If you go to Reef Angles web site their support forum has a thread about the WP40.

    Reef Angel Controller • View topic - JEBO WP-40

    I don't know about any other controller though, I think the Apex can control it and the Reef Keeper but you need some other hardware, an APC I think?

    Thanks Dan,

    Pretty much spot on! Piece of mind, peace of mind, anti DT flood controller- it's all the same thing!

    Yes, I love the pump. It will have a lot of juice for that 75 gallon but I think you will like it. You will have to play with the settings to keep it from splashing over but they are pretty simple.
