Noob Question haha

what are your opinions on the Innovative Marine Spin Stream for a Biocube?

Innovative Marine Spin Stream - Return Nozzle

 

While I have never used that particular product.(It is relatively new) I loved my Hydor's. They work great on nano aquariums. They do tend to clog over time so I purchased two and just rotated them (pardon the pun).lol These new ones look pretty good if you decide to give them a try let us know what you think.

Wavemakers: Hydor FLO Rotating Deflector Wavemaker

 

Interesting product. If you do purchase, please post updates!

 

will do... just trying to get a feel about it first

 

A fellow reefer not to far from me was using a simular type wave maker and ran into issues after a few months of running it. Issues he had was once coraline algae grew on it it it wouldn't rotate properly.. Now keep in mind i am sure with proper cleaning and care to remove the the issue i am sure it will stay working fine.

Best of luck

What all corals if any are you thinking of getting into??

 

All he needed to do was soak it in vinegar for a half hour and it will be like new again.

 

Yeah i told him that many times but wasn't the type to do maintance .. He was the type to buy new..


I understand the maintance needed with all reef life suport systems just he had the $$ to spend..

 

save your money, go for the vortech mp10es. You will save yourself the initial cost of the pump and this attachment, like 60 bucks. The vortech is the greatest investment you will make for your corals, and its reputation only precedes it.

 

I think the O.P. was planning on adding it to her existing return pump. While the MP10'S are indeed great wavemakers in a nano these add on rotational flow devices work very well. And for the price you can't beat them.

 

I decided to go with the Hydor FLO Rotating Deflector since its less money and has way better reviews. Should be in here sometime next week.
