Wavemakers?

[kpc01]

Now that I've dumped everything into my 46g tank I'm working on getting some flow in there. I have a few different powerheads now but nothing seems right in there. I was looking at http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...oduct_Code=JBJ-WM-02&Category_Code=Wavemaking http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=JBJ-WM-02&Category_Code=Wavemaking at PA and thought it may be a good choice with two smaller pumps....does anyone have any advice on this? Also I'm trying to decide what pumps to use. I have mainly softies in there so it doesn't need chadfarmer type flow but I wouldn't mind a decent amount. Any advice or experience with good wavemakers and pumps? I'm trying to stay semi cheap with these too. Thanks for any tips.

If you already have MaxiJets, add a couple of these to your PA order and you should be good to go.

I have one on a maxijet 1200 and its a lot of flow. the one I have will start up backwards sometimes though. Are these ok to be hooked to a wavemaker shutting them off and on?

I had mine hooked up to a wave maker for a while never had any problems. my really old one was a little noisy when it started up but i am very sure it was because the inside was very torn up on it and the magnet barely stayed in after years of use.

You got PM

You also might take a look at www.oceansmotion.com I have used their products before. Getting ready to purchase the 4-way for my 180.

I think I am going to try to get an actual controller and run it that way. I am thinking either an AC JR. or reefkeeper 2. I would like to have the other options of it so might as well bite the bullet and get the whole package...

I have a reefkeeper 2 on my system and I really like it alot. Just being able to turn the pumps with the push of one button when its time to feed the tank is worth it for me. Rk2 controls all the lights, ph everything that I need it does.
