Any one tell me how to make the cord that eliminates the factory controller for the jebao pump? I've searched and read but can't seem to find definite answer. Reef angel sells this modded cord but had no description on it any help will be appreciated
 
why do we need to control them by the apex? each WP pump has their own controller and it's simple to use. why bother to be so fancy in reef?

The main reason I do it is to be able to run 2 pumps in anti-sync mode. I also can change the flow of the pumps throughout the day or night. 4 times a day while the lights are on I run both at 100% for 5 minutes to stir things up. The rest of the day I run on 15 second anti-sync pulse. The left side goes from 30 to 75 and the right side goes from 30 to 50. It's great to have fine control of the pumps so you can get them to do exactly what you need depending on what type of tank you have.

Some people are even controlling their DC return pumps to do tidal surges throughout the day and night. There are endless things you can do when you have the control.

Lemonyx, ReeferBee, You both seem to have already modded and hooked up your Jabeo's to your Apex's. Have you taken into consideration that the Apex puts out 10VDC and the Jabeo only uses 5VDC? I have a thread in the DIY that address's this question along with a diagram that I followed off of RC. Right now I have my programming for the pumps set at 50% or max voltage for the Jabeo but I cant use the same programming as for my Tunze's. Or Can I? Here is my thread. https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/do...controlled-apex-without-reef-angel-cable.html

the reef angel cable is modded to cut the 10v's to 5v's so no over powering the Jebao and yes, reeferbee it's plug and play (you just bought a modded cable and attached it, not modded it), I did no cutting with the reef angel cable and from the apex side I just inserted the Cat 5 wire into each plug

I went with the RA Jebao adapters, they work just fine.

This is my Apex programming for 2 Jebao WP40

WP40_Lt
Set Wave1
If Time 08:00 to 10:59 Then DuskDawn
If Time 11:00 to 14:00 Then Wave1
If Time 14:01 to 20:00 Then DuskDawn
If Time 20:01 to 07:59 Then Night
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then Lt_Flush
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then DuskDawn
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave2
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

WP40_Rt
Set Wave1
If Time 08:00 to 11:59 Then DuskDawn
If Time 12:00 to 14:00 Then Wave1
If Time 14:01 to 20:00 Then DuskDawn
If Time 20:01 to 07:59 Then Night
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then Rt_Flush
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then DuskDawn
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave2
If FeedA 000 Then OFF


Pump Profiles:

Wave1 (main daylight wave pattern)
Synchronize Enabled
Divide by 10 Enabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 7
Off time (Seconds) 4
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 100

Wave2 (Similar pattern to the above but Sync is disabled which creates abit more chaos)
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Enabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 7
Off time (Seconds) 4
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 100

Lt_Flush
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Disabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 30
Off time (Seconds) 30
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 90

Rt_Flush
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Disabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 30
On time (Seconds) 30
Off time (Seconds) 30
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 90


DuskDawn (This is a lower flow wave pattern used intermittently during the light hours as well as before and after lights go out)
Synchronize Enabled
Divide by 10 Enabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 7
Off time (Seconds) 4
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 30


Night (Sets a constant 30% flow during light off hours)
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Disabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 10
Off time (Seconds) 15
Minimum intensity 30
Maximum intensity 30


Virtual Outlets

3 timers. The timers are used to create short random periods of different flow during daylight hours.

Timer1 (turns on every 120 minutes for 10 minutes. If timer 2 is on at that time, it should remain off)
OSC 120:00/010:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then OFF
If Time 19:30 to 08:00 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Timer2 (turns on every 45 minutes for 15 minutes except if timer 3 is on)
OSC 045:00/015:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then OFF
If Time 19:30 to 08:00 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Timer3 (turn on every 15 minutes for 5 minutes except if timer 1 is on)
OSC 015:00/005:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then OFF
If Time 19:30 to 08:00 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

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.
