fishcraze_1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 How long have you had these running in your tanks. Just curious and wanted to see how long people have been running these and if so have you had any issues during that time. Thanks in advance.

Bpb Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 8 months. No issues beyond needing frequent cleaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggedfire Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 ~6 months on a WP40. Some cleaning every other month. I did have a strange issue where the pump would current limit itself and show a red led for a few weeks. Since I moved and moved all rock around and pump, issue is gone. No failure though and impeller seems to be lasing longer than previous Koralias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 6 months and going strong. Only have cleaned once so far. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 6 months and WP40 died last week. Had been cleaning approximately monthly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 11months for 2 wp40s and 2 wp25s. 1 power supply went flaky on me after 6 months but everything else has been great! I replaced it for $13 off eBay for a universal ps. Need to clean mine again to increase flow but that is just common maintenance for any power head. You can't beat them for the price!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nano Reefer Ky Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Vey nice. Thanks for the reviews and this post. I think I will be getting one for my tank hopefully soon. Do you think a WP10 would be the correct size for a NUVO 30? I don't want to blow water out of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarwiggle Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I currently run a wp10 on my nuvo30. Perfect for the tank. I run it at 100% ....sometimes less. Great flow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to ask wife for permission How do you have it facing? Left to right, front to back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to ask wife for permission How do you have it facing? Left to right, front to back? I have changed it from back middle just below the return to placing it on the sides. I found I like it towards the back and angled down a little to hit from glass. But I have a lot of rock in my tank and that is where it fit the best.

rockstarwiggle Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The pump did stop on me once....not sure why....but I unplugged it and then re-plugged and it started back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenver Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I have two wp40s, I bought one 6 months apart and there is a small power difference, like 2-4% but since they're so overpowered it doesn't matter, I bought the dual controller and I'm very happy with the control I have with the programming functions, 0-100% control on speed, and 11 different flow patterns, right now I have it sequencing every half hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nano Reefer Ky Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Just purchased the WP-10 off amazon for $65. If it performs as well as I have read this will be a score. Oh and it was on Prime too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
