  • Good for small tanks. Errors are avoidable.
Size: 1600 gph
There are a lot of people complaining about this I see on forums. All I can say is that the impeller shaft is exposed. It only takes one grain of sand in this to cause it to fail to spin. Keep it someplace where the sand does not get to it. I first tried to use it on a new tank, but the sand was still loose and got to it. Errors!! Once the tank established the sandbed I put it back in. And all is well now. The controller is not exactly user friendly, but once you get the hand of it you will be fine. Most importantly, keep it clear of sand, macro algae, and use the sponge cover that it came with to keep any debris out of it. Like I mentioned, one single sand grain is all it takes to cause this thing to error. If you place it in a good spot, use the filter sponge circle cover, and clean it when doing water changes it works perfectly. It is NOT a drop in and forget it device like a power-head. ... show more

  • Good Little Wavemaker
Size: 1600 gph
The media could not be loaded. Nice little wavemaker that works well in my Coralife Biocube 32-g Saltwater tank. It is programmable for 5 time of day settings, 4 intensities, 4 wave modes, and 8 speed settings. I like the Feed mode that shuts off the wavemaker for 10-minutes when you feed the fish. It has a good flow rate. Easy to set up and easy to clean. I included a video to show how easy it is to clean. I don't hear it running unless I forget to turn it off during water changes. ... show more

  • Impossible to program
Size: 1600 gph
I cant understand for the life of me how this has good reviews! Its sucks! I have attempted several time to program and just gave up! Its on default mode and judging by the diagram listed on here its not working right. Its 12:47pm and the first number says 0! I dont see how that can be. That number is not listed as an option. It must be malfunctioning! Its now reading 0801and its barely doing anything. I shuts on and off putting out very short little bursts! I wish I would have returned it a long time ago! I will stick with Jebao from here on out! Supposedly its on default so the numbers and flow should change throughout the day. The numbers change but flow dosnt! It just does the same thing all day short tiny bursts! ! Beside that It has these 4 rubber prongs that attach it to the magnet and one of the rubber prongs broke right away so I only have 3 and its constantly needing to be put back in the holes! I hate this wavemaker! The worst I have ever bought and it isnt cheap! I am about ready to trash it and buy a jebao! Then use this for down bottom and add a tiny bit of flow because thats all I can get from it! ... show more

  • Functionality & Surprising Power with a Small Footprint
Size: 1600 gph
The media could not be loaded. With some programmable wave makers costing hundreds of dollars, I had reservations about this one. However, since this was more of an aesthetic addition, there wasn't much risk. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised by how well this wave maker performed. At the time of writing the wave maker has been running continuously for two weeks. The video shows max power/continuous. My tank is a standard 20 gal long (30" x 13" x 13"). The wave maker is offset towards the back and can produce current along the back of the tank. On its lower setting, the wave maker is strong enough to induce a gentle current and fully circulate around the hardscape back to the head unit. The build quality is good. All of the power cables appeared to be well-secured and insulated, with good flexibility (wires don't feel cheap). The head unit's power cable has a threaded three-pin connector, which secures it from water and accidental disconnects around wet areas. The control is basic and kind of large, but the fit and finish are good. The power supply separates from the controller, so in the event the power supply goes out, it can be easily replaced without replacing the controller unit. The power head itself sits on replaceable rubber stabilizers mounted to the metal disk, which is held by a strong magnet. Both the disk and magnet have a rubber cover, which I'm assuming will allow for some easy cleaning. The cage can be easily removed for cleaning, as well as the propeller. The propeller has a ceramic shaft that could be easily broken if mishandled. If you get the dreaded Error 7, unplug the head unit, pop the cage, and rotate the propeller until it turns smoothly. I had to do this several times during setup because I was kicking sand up. I suggest using the filter media bands that are included if you have fine substrate, plants for nano fish. The installation was straightforward. The ability to free the head unit from the controller and the magnetic attachment makes it fast and easy to test out locations before committing. You also get some zip ties and adhesive tie-downs for cable management. Programming is way more confusing than it should be, and the manual's writing compounds the problem. In short (TLDR), the wave maker has a schedule of 5 time periods; you cannot change these time periods, only the wave pattern it runs during them. Once you set your local time, you should create a program for each of the 5 time periods by changing the first digit, which indicates the time period, and then entering the wave program. You can program completely different wave programs for each or identical ones so that they never change. For my setup, I've chosen to do constant at full power. My programming is 1438, 2438, 3438, 4438, 5438 The output pattern of the head unit is standard, not too focused, and not too wide. it has a pretty decent throw. However, if my tank were any longer, I would want to step up to a higher power head for what I'm going for. Otherwise, a second head opposite would give good circulation on a lower power setting. ... show more

  • Great little piece of hardware for your tank!
Size: 1600 gph
I bought this to use in my freshwater planted tank. I'm running a 17 gallon ADA 60P tank with a Fluval 307 canister filter, along with CO2 injection. Because I'm using lily pipes, the pressure of the flow in the tank was creating some dead spots in the circulation between the rocks. I intended to use this to add more circulation in the tank, and because it was small and magnetic, I could position it wherever I needed. It arrived packaged very well, and was easy to setup. The instructions are pretty straightforward, and I had it set up in a few minutes. This tiny little thing is strong, at the minimum 40% power it was still pushing water around, I imagine it would be perfect for a nano reef tank, or for some additional flow in a larger tank. It has several modes, one of the most convenient being feeding mode where it stops the pump for 10 minutes. I stopped using it because I added some neocaridina shrimp to my tank and I'm worried the pump will suck them up and spit them out in pieces. I suppose you could just cover it in mesh netting or panty hose, but after moving the pipes of my filter to different locations I managed to find a spot that circulated the water where I needed it to. One thing I wish was programmed in was while using feeding mode, if it was not just a 10 minute timespan. When cleaning the tank, doing water changes, and trimming down the plants, it would be nice to have a manual start/stop function without unplugging it. ... show more
