    118 for the WP40 is much better to me than 350+ for the Tunzes or 400+ for the vortech. I personally think it's going to be great but may take some tweaking. I like the idea of getting most of my flow from a single pump rather than the 3 koralias I have in my tank right now. I should receive it tomorrow or wednesday. I'll do pics of unboxing and shoot some video with it in the tank.

    You can't beat that price unless you burn through 4 of them.

    That would be the only thing I would worry about. Doesn't seem to be an issue from all the stuff I've been reading, but still worries me a bit.

    Might pick one up to compliment my mp10 and see how it compares

    That would be like comparing apples to oranges as far as flow rate is concerned. These pumps, from what I have seen, are crazy!

    I'm thinking the same thing. I've been wanting to pick up an controller but can't justify the price since I got an mp10 esw & my LEDs already have timers & dimmers built in. I only need controller for probes. So if these work well I'd consider gettin a few & an Apex & selling my mp10.

    If it weren't for my dosing pumps, I still wouldn't have a controller. With this being said, I like running 2 heaters on one controller. That way, if one of the heaters dies, the other will pick up slack.

    As stated in Post #1, I just changed the thread title. If anyone has pics, videos or information on the WP40, please post them here. This pump is going to be a huge thing over the next few months so I would like to have a comprehensive place for them here on 3reef. =)

    I just got another message from the seller. He is on his way to the post office with my pump. I can't wait!
