    I have ordered one of these- via a web site in Dallas.
    The wp40 for $60!!

    Because I'm not in TX.- (damn it), the person controlling the GB for these on their site will charge me a little to ship it to me. Couldn't be more than $15 I wouldn't think.

    HOwever, the shipping time I think was 4-6 weeks, so I still have a few more weeks to go.

    I skimmed or have read most of this thread- a great one it is, and everyone talks about the flow, but what ballpark are we talking here?
    1800gph? 2400gph? 4000+gph? What?

    Sorry if I missed it

    we are talking about 3500 gph. You can use a variable voltage power supply and bring it down to 15 volts which would slow it down. it has a ton of flow.

    The manufacturer actually sells a 12-24 volt power supply now for $10. Just an FYI.

    Thanks,

    I currently have 5 power heads of different sizes in my DT. Hoping to remove all but 1 or 2 maybe when I get the wp40

    yeah, I have the wp40 with 2 x koralia 4's in my tank. Lots of flow but it's all very strategically placed and working out well. Even with the koralias running, the wp40 can make a heck of a wave.

    The one that Fish-Street sells is not made by Jebao. Fish-Street is just selling it on their own.

    OK!

    You're saying this will dim the whites on my TaoTronics 120W?
