I state that they don't work because they are rough re-starting as about 1/2 the time they will start in reverse. I can add an anti reverse tab that works but not well and the chatter of the prop against the tab is gadawful so I try to get folks to run them stand alone. After you get them running you'ss see how much more random the flow patterns is the using stock powerheads. Also if you point the at each other from opposite sides of the tank they really enhance random flow that I think beats the wavetimer I have. Just my opinion but...
The other mod makers can make any claims they want, I'm being honest and just making cool mods. for all kinds of powerheads and pumps.

Killer mod... I got have me about 4 of em!!!!!
Alright, I was thinking of the best way to get flow going in my tank and for the least amount of electricity Im thinking Ill have to use maxi's with your mods stack. I just dont like the look of powerheads in a tank so I think I figured out a way to hide them in liverock by making something like this

Im thinking 6 total, 4 hidden in the tank on a wavemaker, and 2 in plain sight, up top, on each side of the aquarium, constantly running while aimed at eachother to get some turbulence action going on. I know 6 sounds like alot but it will only be one of the 4 running at a time to create some random flow. Any idea how much your mods push out of a MJ900 or 1200?
Any opinions?

You'll find that a wavemaker is a total waste of money and time ("gasp! Dear God did he really say that!!!") when you have a couple mods pushing flow toward each other or directed at a wall either tangent ot perpendicular. The flow starts at 2" dia. low pressure and I'd guess in the 700 GPH range (no discernable difference in 900-1200) and runs out in a cone out to about 12" dia at 18" or so from the pump. The flow is diffused somewhat but one creates enough flow to rock my corals on the opposite side of my 48" tank. 2 in my 120 generate random flow all over with the bulk of surge being in the direct stream path. When they converge or are disrupted by LR work the flow is excellent. Because of the widening path of flow it;s really not necessary to Keep them low in the tank and I actually think the fish appreciate some eddy areas down low because they spend alot of time dodging the flow when it's heavy. I randomly turn off one pump for a day or 2 then the other, and both for picture day.... Ya, the low instance Stack-O-wavemaker... LOL
