WP40 is up and running

Nice! I'm keeping an eye out for reviews on it's baby brother.

 

looks like its fully controllable now if you have reef angel

 

can you sync 2 of them together??

 

Only if you hook them up to a apex or RA controller

 

Just ordered mine today for my 120g any updates for us?

 

I have one coming soon as well. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

 

What's a WP 40?

 

It is a chinese made "wavemaker" pump that is positioned to compete with Vortech and Tunze. Here is a link to the only place that you can order them:

And a long discussion on RC:

I ordered 2 last week....

 

I don't see how having something as big as a softball could ever compete with an MP-40. Sorry but vortechs are expensive cuz they are worth it.. Just like divorces

 

We shall see. Vortexes are actually expensive because people are willing to pay what they're charging because there are no comparable, more reasonably priced options. It's a competition vacuum. In space, everything is expensive.

 

I just bought a wp40. I can't wait to get it. All reviews I have read have said very good things.
I will keep you posted. It was only $114.00 shipped.

You can buy them from us distributors now. I got mine from E-bay from a place I buy from often. I don't like the fact it coasts 25 to ship them. Also they are not the size of a softball. Look on YouTube at them.

I agree with dead fish. The are expensive because they get bought at that price. I think 500 for a powerhead is crazy.

who do you get them from on ebay

 

I ordered mine on eBay also. $94 shipped. Said it should be here in 3-4 days. Coming from Cali

 

I'm sorry but i dont care what it can do our the cost... After holding one in my hand at a LFS this week and seeing the outrageous size of the power head, I'll pay the $500.00. I went from having 4 1500 gph vortechs that didnt flow half of what these mp-40's are . worth every penny when you factor in the easy of connection to my Apex. Save your money to get the real deal I had to and it was well worth the wait.

 

Dude, don't be confused: I could and would spend $500 if I thought it was worth it. I'm not convinced. Maybe I will be down the road. I've never understood why people go so nuts about having a powerhead in their tank. The tank itself is an artificial environment. There's evidence of that everywhere you look.

It could be that these things are not in the same league as the vortech. If so, their price point is justified. If not, Ecotech has some competition and that's good for all of us because we won't be held over a barrel by a monopoly.
