Pham, sent you a text.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

vermitid snail. Superglue his hole shut. He will aggravate your zoas.

Pick me, pick me, I'll take them. Beautiful... Just remember the October frag swap is just aroun the corner...are hick we can do a buy now and pick up at Theresa now.....that'll work I am going to make every effort to be at the swap.

Actually, I'm going to try to make it to the swap this fall. If I do, I will have a ton of zoa sweetness to share with everyone.
