Jeabo WaveMaker

[Melissajk]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Jeabo WaveMaker.

I have not personally used them, but there are other members that have use them and really enjoy them. I want to say there was one or two negative thoughts on them as they burned out a month or two into their use.

I just bought the wp40 for my 120 gallon. It is really powerful.
The only thing that I don't like is that the night sensor has to have a little light in the room to work. Also on its lowest setting it still blows sand at the other end of th tank. I've had it for 2 weeks now we'll see how long it lasts.

Really a single wp40 is causing sandstorms in a 120? I've got a wp10 running on w2 at 75% in my 10 with no issues

Yea, it moved all the sand on the other side of the aquarium. I'll take a picture when I get home. We had it on W2. With the dial turned about 25%. Last night we set it on else and that seems to help a little bit.

I am running a WP25 in a 90g. It doesn't cause a sandstorm but it does move the substrate quite well to match the waves in the water.

I am very happy with it at the moment and have been running it for approximately 6 months or so.

If the lowest setting is too strong for you, you might buy one of these-
PWM Dimmer Switch in Line Manual Knob Style 12V 24V for 1 Single LED Strip Light | eBay
It will allow you to turn it down further.
I am one of the ones who had a Jebao wp40 crap out on me after a couple months and no one would honor the warranty. Even a wholesale supplier i deal with has in giant red letters-
******** WILL NOT WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE JEBAO PUMPS**

** Let your customer know, buy at their own risk **



​

That said, I got another from a friend and have been using it for a few months also, and it's still running (I use that dimmer switch on my current tank that has the same footprint as your 120).
I also recently bought a RW15 that I like a bit better. Not bad for the price....IF it doesn't quit on me.
Another hundred and I could get a vortech

See how it is still blowing the sand to the center of the tank.

I bought my jeabo on amazon, so if it stops working hopefully amazon will return it. Thanks for the info on the dimmer I'll look into it.

I have had mine for almost a year now small problems here and there whenever tge electricity goes out but it is still working. I have mine on my 125 and my sand does not blow around you might want to point it in an upwards position.

 

[Melissajk]

How far down do you have it placed in the tank. I tried pointing it up and water sloshed out of the tank

I have mine down I am guessing about 6 inches below the black plastic ream.

I don't remember how to post a video through taptalk but here is a picture of how I have mine.
It is set on W1 its a slow wave movement.
