Looks very interesting and cheaper powerhead

I have read several posts from other people saying the sensor did not ship with their pump. I emailed them because mine doesnt work they told me they wouldnt replace it. They see it as a bonus i guess if you get one and it works great but if not oh well. The pump is awesome the sensor is the only problem i have with it. Still a hundred bucks well spent

I have used mine for a day and I would say overall I am pleased with it. For the price it has a great deal of power and will generated a good sized wave, at least in my 90 gal. My only dislike is the sensor part. This could be deigned better. I can say I have to put my ear to the motor to make sure it is running. It is very quiet. Now is it better than the MP-40, no. The MP 40 has greater control of flow power and more settings. Now that being said for the price I feel it is a great purchase. I am going to purchase another one next week. We will see how long they hold up.

So far so good

I'm having trouble getting the sensor to work properly. When my lights go off at night the sensor is working and the pump goes into the night mode. But when I get up in the morning about 6:30 am, the pump is back in day mode and my lights are still off. Does the pump only stay in the night mode for predetermined amount of hours?

I would just toss the sensor. Mine will slow the pump down when the lights are dim but at complete darkness it starts up again.

My sensor is working so far. It has been a week or so. I did have trouble with it staying in place but I worked with it and it is doing it's job. What power supply has anyone used to lower the speed of the pump. It is blowing the sand on the other end of my tank. Does any one know what volts it is using from factory.

24 volts. I got my power supply from amazon. You can choose from 12 to 24 volts. It doesnt have a name on it i got the link off another forum

Here is a link, from an earlier post, for a variable ac adapter. My light sensor only works when lights are dim, not when it is completely dark

This is one is cheaper i do believe and is the one i got

Come on WP 25's. I'm ready to order , lets get these boys in already . Lol

EvilMel · Apr 11, 2013

Hey guys, I think I'm going to order one of these. Does anyone else want one? We could split shipping. I think if we get three pumps ordered, I think there's some free shipping upgrade. If no one else wants one, no biggie. I may order today so speak up ASAP.

Thanks. I can't imagine them actually arriving before the swap but we will see!

joshsamsj · Apr 11, 2013

You can now get the variable power supply from them and also extra light sensors for a dollar.

Mel My nephew in Charleston has been running his for about 6 months in his 90 reef and has nothing but good things to say about it.He says the trick is the DC power supply ,believe he said he's running it at 15 volts and it's all the tank wants.The thing is a beast cranked up!

EvilMel · Apr 12, 2013

I'm not going to get the variable power supply because in the 120, I'll want it run at 24V. If I had a smaller tank, I'd get it but in a 120...I think the flow will be fine!

I'm glad to hear that everyone likes them!!!

greg0385 · Apr 12, 2013

Your fish will hate you, i have a 150 tall so its 4ft long. I liked the flow with pump on 24volts, but i notice my fish wasnt swimming much around. When i slow the pump down to 17 volts, my tang and anthias started cruising the tank again.

Just a thought for you to think about.

My tunze 6105 full blast with regular flow head blows my sand around on the other side of my 6' tank and is to much flow for the toadstool thats there too. So i Use the wide flow head. If you have barebottom and sps only you might be ok.
