Madreefer reviewed this pump back in 2011. HERE is his review.



Although I now have Vortechs, I think if I were setting up a tank today I’d take a look at Jebao WP 25’s and WP 40’s. I’ve seen the 40’s first hand and they put out tons of flow. I am fairly confident they are DC driven and can therefore turn on and off and ramp up without problems.

They are DC driven & can even be given lower power with a variable voltage power supply or an inline LED dimmer or with a controller & a bit of DIY.
The 25 would still be pretty strong for your tank Jose. it pushes between an MP10 & an MP40 so you'd have to dial it down a bit probably unless you're going BB. Some people are claiming the flow rates that are given are under what is actually being done. but that's for another thread :)

I have the WP40 in my 90 & it seriously moves some water.

My WP-40 is creating waves in my 180 by itself (Still setting up electronics. so its the only pump running)... from rim to rim and at W1 and even on low the flow is felt on the other side of the pump. Very impressed....

I have changed out my Tunze PH's for WP's, and now have two of each in my tank, so far so good. The newer versions have a speed control built into the controller, so you can adjust the speed to 50/75/100%, making them more versatile. And, it's hard to beat the price.

For my setup they worked very well. Had them in a 75g tank and were very powerful. I plan to use them when I setup my 120 in a couple of months. I did glue the plastic the magnet sits in together as it kept falling apart, the outside magnet. Other than that no issues.
