I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with either of these 2 products. I see good reviews on both on another site, but wanted to know first hand if anyone local had any experience. I see the jebo can now be controlled by the apex with a modified cable, and its supposedly really quiet. And puts out alot of flow.

As far as the LED fixture, it would be going over a 180g standard tank with canopy. And looks like I would need 3 of the value fixtures. I was looking at these or going with MH/T5 combo.

Dimmer switch is so you can adjust how much flow it does. The controller controls the off/on cycle and modes. Most people dont like 24volts so you need to reduce voltage to adjust your perferance in amount of flow

So the knob on the front of the controller doesn't adjust the flow? do you put this knob in between the pump and controller box?

It looks like you just put the dim switch in, and than you can modify the flow rate, or you can mod an ra cable if you have an apex controller to control it. I think I may have to get 2 of these. One for each side, plus if you buy so many, they do group buy options from reading on other sites, discounts range from $8 to $39.

I know a few people have ordered the WP 40's recently and the power supplies have already gone bad.

I got mine in a few weeks ago. It is nice for the money. Very quiet as well. It will make a good wave in my 110.

Hey, so they lowered the price a bit and if you order 3 or more, they will Upgrade to 2 day shipping! Anyone want to order one or more? I think I am going to get a pair of them for my 180. If so, Please Send me a PM and we can get the details worked out. I can deliver at the swap.
