Yeah baby! Ordered my wp40 for the 140g today! And I've got another of the wp25's coming in for my other shallow acrylic tank. These things rock. No more noisy Vortechs for me.

I should have some either at the ARC or the MAAST swap. I've got some now, but it would be one heck of a drive to come get them
-
The flow pattern seems to be very broad and quite chaotic. My shallow acrylic tank is 24" wide, and it's pushing water up both sides of the tank (wp25 is mounted at the far end of the 5' tank). I had to turn it down, it was splashing water over the eurobracing and onto the wall.

I just got my Jebao WP-25 today, and have it in my 5' shallow acrylic tank to test it out. What I can tell you so far: these things are *powerful*, and move far more water than an MP10 (which I also have). It's super quiet compared to the MP10, with no buzzing, whining, roaring, etc. I have it set on the lowest power, and even at that I had to move it about and change the location and position in the tank to keep it from splashing water out of the tank, and blowing my zoas all around (zoas weren't amused by this). The flow is chaotic and random, and immediately began pulling detritus into suspension in the water column (detritus that the MP10 did NOT get into suspension). Setup was simple, the directions are not difficult to follow.
I paid $80 shipped for the wp25, it came from Phoenix, AZ, and arrived in four days. I've heard complaints that the bracket was flimsy, but it appears no more or less robust than brackets found with comparable powerheads from Tunze. The power cords are more than adequate in lenghth, allowing you to place the controller where you want. The magnet mount for the powerhead is strong and holds the powerhead in place very well.
For the price, it can't be beat. Yes, there is a cord going into the tank, but since I keep rare/expensive wrasses in all of my tanks, they all have canopies with screens of some sort or another. The cord in the tank doesn't bother me as much as paying a big chunk of money for an MP10 bothers me. I'm pretty well sold on the wp25. I will be buying at least two more, and two of the wp40 as well (for my 140 and my 90 column).
I think my MP10 is going to be looking for a new home very, very soon.

Picked up these goodies at the DFWMAS swap yesterday, and from a couple of meetups after the swap. New pretties for my collection!
This guy is peeved because I moved him
Sorry, my camera lost its' mind over the color of this goni, so the pic is a little blown out.

Any interest in trading for high end zoas and palys?

After fighting a losing battle with bubble algae, I decided to drain the small world tank, let it dry out completely, then fill it with rodi before adding salt. It seems my evil plan has worked, there is no bubble algae in sight anywhere, YAY! I turned it from freshwater to saltwater a couple days ago, added new sand (new, not used), and well cured live rock that is free of bubble algae. I'm not adding livestock yet, but here's what I have holding in my frag tanks waiting till the time is right:
Court Jester goby
Yasha Hase goby w/shrimp
McCloskers flasher wrasse
two sexy shrimp
tail spot blenny
I still need/want to get a yellow banded possum wrasse and a Naoko fairy wrasse, just to complete the tank. There will also be other tiny critters like pom pom crabs, feather dusters, and barnacle blennies added at a later date.
Now, lets hear your suggestions for livestock. The only things written in stone for the tank are the yasha hase and his shrimp (covering up my frags!), and the two sexy shrimp (they will look lovely on my shrooms!). The court jester, the tail spot and the McCloskers could stay in my frag tank if I found something I liked better. So, let's hear your suggestions.
I'll try to take pictures tomorrow. The tank is in my hallway, so a fts is almost impossible.
-
Dustin, you sure can. Trading does take place, but lots of folks just come to buy some pretties for their tank.
-
If you have the need Chris I have these frags that I got from AAF for sale.
Those are very pretty!
To keep on topic. I think the summer blahs have more to do with folks spending money on vacations, amusement parks and traveling with the family. This is my busy time of year, construction always seems to pick up once it gets nice and hot outside. Roofing in particular.

Hey guys, for all of ya asking about certain zoas (or PM'ing), I'll be down for the swap in October, and I'll have a tank full of lovely zoas and palys that will be looking for new homes.

Might want to back off on the caffeine there ct67stang. Just sayin......
Looks like the forum got a little excited about your post.

Just like the title says. Looking for a few polyps for my collection.
I thought I had them, but wound up getting shafted on the deal. Dude has my money, and my polyps. Jerk. He's not an ARC member, otherwise I would start naming names
paypal dispute?
Too late. It's not a huge amount of money, but still. Dude should man up and either return funds, or gimme my polyps! S'ok, In the end it will hurt him more than me. Jerkface just might find his name out there for everyone to see. I've always trusted my fellow reefers, and this is the first time I've ever been burned. My reputation is intact, but his might not be if something doesn't give. Persistence is one of my more charming traits

Pics, and/or video, or it didn't happen.
If you can tell me how to make my iphone take a video that isn't windex blue then I will happily take one for you. Otherwise all you will see is deep blue (I tried to video today, iphone does NOT like leds).

Ok. It's official. I'm a polyp hoarder. Seriously.
This is a list of the zoas and palys that currently reside here. This list does not include the 20+ colonies (yes, colonies) that are either unnamed or I've forgotten the names of. Good grief.

They will kill any snail, crab, or shrimp in your tank. And, they get huge. I have one in my wrasse only tank, he spends all day throwing rocks around, and prying turbo snails off the glass.
-
What's the word on this? If it's a no-go then I'd like to make other plans.
-
Bump up for a good guy.
Pham, I want some of these when I come for the swap in October

The nova is kinda rare. It's front end is a 1968 and from fire wall back is a 1969. It's one of 1500 out of 133,000 that came with dark green on dark green color.
Ohhhhh! I LIKE! Very nice

Do you throw the dogs at the deer/ducks/critters? Sounds like fun.
I hunt the dogs on jackrabbits (to test for speed) and coyote (predator control). Since I'm also a breeder, I feel it necessary to test the ability of the dogs before possibly using them in my breeding program. These are purebred, Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound). Never been much of a bird dog person, I prefer to hunt things that are a bit more challenging. Gun hunting, now I'm all about deer and feral hog. Tasty.
-
Sherita stop. You already attracted all the guys to you with your zoas and boat and now this. Come on. We can't take it. But seriously I have a 68 nova that I've had since I was 14 and a 72 Honda motorcycle that I've had since I was 12. Car runs motorcycle not so much.
Wanna see the Nova!!! Picspicspicspics!
My tinkertoy is my '88 F150 4WD. I seem to spend a lot of time keeping it on the road Just rebuilt the front end, now it's time to deal with the non airconditioning a/c. It blows hot, which kinda defeats the whole purpose. I my truck. It's old and has some warts and barnacles, but mechanically stout. 302v8, 5pd manual, manual transfer case, manual locking hubs. Doin it old school.
I guess now might not be the time to point out that I'm also an avid hunter (both with guns and dogs), and a certified gun nut.

Probably not in the sense that you are asking, but does a gal that works on her own cars and trucks count?

Yep. The one I just built that's in the other thread. Y'all will get to see that tank at the fall swap, cause I've got plans to be there
Right now this tank is pending on MAAST.
