Reef Angel Forum

I have a standard 48" 120 gallon. I have a mixed reef that is SPS dominant. I am trying to decide if I should go with 2 x wp25's or 2 x wp40's to be controlled by my RA+.

Second question, I plan to connect the Jebao's to my dimming connections, does this mean I won't need to plug the units into the power strip as well?

I think WP-40's.
You can plug the power supplies to the wall and control the pumps with the dimming port

so are you saying that I wouldn't need to plug them into the Relay box, I would just need to plug them into any unconnected outlet?? Then I buy 2 of the RA jebao connections and hook them up to my dimming ports, find the code I want to run them with and I'm good to go??

I purchased my RA+ with PWM dimming in April of 2013. Just making sure my hardware is compatible and ready to rock?

You got it

I think 2 WP-40's would be too much for a 48" tank.

I have a 55 gallon tank which is 48" long too, but only 12" wide compare to probably 2x the width on a 120.

I have a WP-40 and a WP-25 on the 55 gallon and have them set to 50% full power thru the RA.

The Jebao pumps have a cutoff point on them when you can't go below a certain percentage or else the pump gets stuck in the off position and will not come back on unless you pull the plug on the pump.

The WP-40 seems to be 20% while the WP-25 seems to be 30%.
That's why I set the power on the RA to be 50% with a +- 20% range so it will not go below 30% and stop.

I have a 90Gal 48"L, 18"W, 24"T and I have one WP40 and Nutrient transport mode at 70% moves EVERYTHING.... I am considering going to two wp25's or 1 wp25 and 2 wp10's since I want to start utilizing sync/antisync and use tidal modes.

I would say 1 wp40 and a wp25 or two wp25's would probably be good. I think two WP40's is overkill... dim them down a bit and they are no issue, but size wise if you can get away with WP25's i would..
