Jebao WP60 help

Just picked up a WP60 and its way too much for my tank. To my understanding, there is a light sensor that goes in the side, that will slow the pump speed down a lot. I just so happen to not have that piece.
Does anyone know if that's anything special? Could I pick something similar up at a Radio shack? Could I just use a paper clip? I don't need the sensor, I just need the slow speed.

Thanks!
 
The light sensor only slows the pump down if it is dark. I have found that it sometimes fails if it ever gets direct bright light shined on it. Radio shack may have the sensor.

That's why I don't need the sensor function. I just want to bypass it and slow it down as much as possible. I can't run it at all without it clouding my tank from the sand being stirred up. It even flips my chalices over...
 
A standard LED dimmer switch will do the trick. That is what I use on my RW's.

I got it off amazon prime for $7 each. Or you can buy the variable power supply from fish-street. They run at 24v, but the dimmer switch works from 5-24v. I dont recommend turning the voltage down to less than 12v, but I have seen several people do it.
 
Also I just noticed in you signature you have an apex...fish-street has a apex module that will give you 0-100% control of that pump. Check it out.
