Wave Maker!

dodge41 · 07-14-2005, 06:20 PM

I have 2 aqua clear 201 powerheads (126 gph I think) which I would like to hook up in my aquarium to create waves. My tank is a 50 gallon stadard. I have seen several wave makers ranging from 20-100+ dollars. I would like to find one obviously on the lower end of the scale. What are some recomendations?

You get what you pay for.more $ ones usally have a soft startup that will make your PH last longer and they usally have more channles.

The "Natural Wave timer" (looks like a regular power strip) Worked great for me, but I was using maxijet powerheads, didn't have any problems at all, loved it, great price!

Thanks for the Replies. Natural wave the Coralife Power Center were on my list. The Coralife has been scratched. I looked into the Red Sea and it seems a bit pricey for me. Right now its looking like the Natural wave since its about 45.

natural wave only has 3 switched plugs, the other three are constant hot. Probably new that, sorry.

Its this one right? http://www.petsolutions.com/Natural+...C-1042-C-.aspx

Im confused now, I DIDNT think that one was made by coralife but I read somewhere else that it was. Is the natrual wave the ones that cause problems or are these the nefarious wave makers? http://www.petsolutions.com/Power+Ce...C-1042-C-.aspx

I am unsure which ones the other guys were talking about, but the natural wave timer in the first link is the one that I was talking about, it's great for the price!
