I think the general consensus is to not run them on a wavemaker. I didn't read that when I ordered my kits. Some do though and I'd like to use my aquacontroller to control them. The experts even don't seem to like the use of wavemakers on any p.h. so I'm torn between trying it or not. My stoppers don't seem to stop the backspin so I need to lengthen the stopper I guess or they need to loosen up for the blade to move up and down more and hit the stopper.

Wavemakers are ok if you have a properly working stopper on the mod. The MJ's seem to be the best for wavemakers unmodded and many think they are fine with the mod to work on a wavemaker. Of course, like Roy pointed out, there are people who don't think WM's are a good idea. But they are the ones that still think that bio-balls are a good idea. 
The main thing if you want to try the wave makers is make sure you have a properly fitting stopper to prevent the suchi mod from occuring.

I just have the little slider thing glued to them. Then the regular hook hanger to that. I have a suction cup in there not to stick but to grab them togather so it doesn't fall. I'm going to make some of these:

I actually made 2 sets tonight but I didn't get a strong enough magnet. They look really nice too. If I can't find magnets locally I'll order them here:

ramtheory asked me to stop in an answer a few of your questions here : )
first off someone asked if you should use a 1200 in a 30g . absolutely not : )
maybe the medium flow if positioned right and you don't have any big softies , we are also working on some low flow mods ATM.
also as someone already mentioned , don't use these with the suction cups , doubly so if you have sand . they will fail and it will make a real mess of the tank.
I personally would never use these on a wave maker , this is why. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=933344 . however i have heard mixed reports about the sieo controller, would be reall cool if that worked out ...
lastly i am no longer able to offer group discounts because i have priced them to be extremely competitive already. came down to a choice , give everyone a good deal or save it only for big orders and i just chose to give it to everyone : )
if you have any questions , don't be shy. i am more than glad to help

I just completed a 1200 low flow mod and it is very noisy. the other one is currently drying and I will test it out Monday. I plan on taking apart the noisy one to see if I can figure out why it is noisy. If I can't it looks like I may be tossing it.
Anyone have any ideas as to why it is noisy?
