do they have anything bigger? i was looking at running a bigger pump then that and trying to make some sort of wave maker out of it. anyone have one hooked up like that? how often does it switch and can you control it? thanks

i have one on my 20 gallon and pushing about 1000 gph and switches every 3 seconds or so. what size pump are you wanting to run through it? aquatic eco has them for 35. i was actualy thinking of getting another one and turning up the pump and switch between 6 outlets. they work good so far. just be careful not the tighten the clamps down to far. you can heat the hose around the barb fittings to help seal.

i dont have the pump yet - was thinking a mag 36 or something big - i dont want to have any powerheads in my tank anymore(well on that tank). i want to try and make a wave tank having three spots on each bottom side and three at each top side. that would be a total of 6 heads on each side. the bottom left would be going while the top right is going and then switch to the top left and bottom right. tell me what you think.

will work but how are you going to hide the pipes. i ran a closed loop using a mag12 and ran the pipe behind one of the pillars in the tank and then covered the pipes up with sand along the bottom and then ran the pipes up both pillars and hid the pipe with the rock. worked well. if you use that pump use it external the heat will kill ya. and you will need to use 2 squids. if you do the plumbing right you would end up with top left then bottom right and soo on. sorry it's taking so long i was just on the phone with your buudy brannon. call me later and will setup a time to come over there this week since i'm out of a job

hide the pipes in sand and have the upper pipes in the canopy and just have the spray nozzles in the water. you are out of a job? man i am sorry to hear that. what kind of work are you looking for, so i can keep a eye and ear open. you and george need to just open a store.
