    these pumps do put out a lot of flow. only issue is that when they start to get dirty with film algae on the prop, the flow reduces greatly. I doubt this is a problem since normal maintenance and cleaning is part of the routine of a tank.

    yup, I noticed this too. That's when I switched from S3 to S2 for power. When it was still "getting dirty" S2 was too much.

    that's what I do. When I'm lazy I go from s3 to s2 to compensate and when I hit s1 I know it's time to clean lol.

    I have one in a 120slong with a 40.on the lowest setting it will blow over my eco-gorg. That's 4ft away. And the 40 is super strong.

    Semi on-topic, but Fish-street is now selling a dual controller that looks awesome! A couple members of my local club have one and love them! The controller uses one power supply to power (2) of the same Jebao's, and controls them similar to how two wireless MP-X are controlled. I will be getting one soon for my two WP-40s.

    Nice! I like how they are working on new products. I assume they need to be the same pump?
    I have a wp25 and a wp10, that wouldn't work, right?

    They share a common power supply. As long as the power supply is large enough to power them both at 100%, and both PH's use the same DC voltage, I think it should work. Just for now, all I have seen is the controller being used to control the same powerhead.

    Here's a link, it appears that they have it listed on what you can hook up. It appears they have added more control on the flow, which IMO will be greatly praised.
