Wave Maker Recommendation

dstall · 08/07/2006, 06:29 PM

Has anyone every used the Red Sea Wavemaster Pro Wavemaker MJ ph with any success? I was thinking of 4 MJ 1200's with the Wavemaster in my 90 gal tank.

I just sold my wavemaker because I'm now using a scwd, sea swirl and 1 seio because I didn't like having to look at all the powerheads. But, it does work. I used maxi jets because they were quieter when they switched on and off and more dependable than rios. Rios tend to stop working after a while. The feed button is handy too.

I'm trying to decide what to do as currently NOT i'm getting the flow i need with the pump return and 2 MJ 1200's. Was looking at the wavemaker or investing in Tunze Turbelle Stream Water Pump/Powerhead kit but that's alot of money ($800) but hear nothing but good things.

I am using two SCWDs on my 125. They work well, but you lose some flow through them. They are cheap and have worked for me for a year now. No problems.

I have a red sea wavemaster. It works fine with MJ1200s. I think there are other wavemakers brands that have more varied settings.

There is a DIY mod for the maxi jets that ups their flow, check the DIY forum. I haven't tried it but a lot of people say it works.
