wave2k looks kinda wierd to mee. I like the cleaner look of just haveing a pipe or two in the water, and not a huge rubber wall, lol. I also hate the bubbles it makes. Im gonna make a spray bar of sorts, and run that off either the SCWD, or an OM system. Ill have too see how money goes. Im trying to run a reef system on a college buget,  , Im always out of money!!! _________ 15 Gallon Nano, Current USA 80 watt PC Light, Pengiun HOB Refug, Pair of clowns one ocellaris and one purcula!

Mine doesn't make bubbles. Maybe it has to do with how it is setup! It shouldn't make bubbles because it is totally submerged IMO! The thing I like about it is the amount of water it moves. The ebb and flow created that is reminescent of waves!
I'd rather look at the black housing than the glass tank and wall behind it...also with due time you can get coral to adhere to it and grow-it also doesn't give off heat as the motor is outside the tank, and no chance of stray voltage or powerheads all over the tank-IMO!
Everyone is different though and their really isn't a wrong way to do it! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.

Tell me more!!! I would really like to see some pics, or videos! I was looking at the video on the wavw2k page and it was blowing alot of mico bubbles. Also, how do you have yours setup? On the back, corner?? Im keeping all options open, and would love to hear more CR. In the long run it is alot cheaper than buying a pump, the all the pipe, and the wavemaker. | |

You dont have to worry, I read that also. And it is really good reading!! Im looking to clean up my tank by taking out all the power heads. They have terrible flow, and it all comes out of a tiny hole so you get a jet of water and not a stream of flow. Flow will also help the fish, they will get more swimming time in and it will make the tank feel bigger to them. | |

Reall good reading, just a lot!! | More times then not many have to much pressure blasting the corals and I have seen it as the single leading cause of bleaching. Its more about the volume being moved rather then the force of the pressure blasting the tank. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

I have mine along the right side of my tank for now. I would like to place it in the back of my tank but with all my coral and the coral attaching themselves to other pieces of live rock, I don't want to disrupt that!!!! | |
