Absolute CHEAPEST wavemaker

For 70 dollars, I would rather get a non-controllable tunze

I have 3 on a 40. Works great for me and they are programable for the flow and power. Mine a surprisingly strong despite their size.

I might get one. Any downsides?

I am a Tunze guy.
With that said the Jeabos, imo, are impressive. The ow 25 in the pic started in my 120 and are now in my 45 frag system.
They have nice controllers.
2 wave modes
1 else mode
1 constant
1 shift mode
2 pumps can also be linked together to run opposite each other.

I run else mode which is a random flow in my 120. I also change modes every few days to wave mode.

I run a wave mode in my frag system.

Although they are not Tunze pumps, which I have a few that are 15 years old and still running,
I will be using them in the future.
They will only get better as new models are released.
I also have enough backups to run a few new systems if needed.

I got them to test when I setup my 120 and have been impressed so far. Time will tell how long they last.

An economic example.
In this pic you see a ow-40 in the front. Second is a Tunze 6105.
On the back wall is a Tunze 6095.

The ow-40 pushes as much water as the 6105 and is considerably smaller.

So one 6105 is $300.
I can get 4 ow-40's for $300.

Nice Acros! Seem to be working

Nice Acros! Seem to be working

Thanks! My 120 is 95% acros.
I am running 6 powerheads in the 120.
2 6095's back wall
2 6105's 1 each side
2 ow-40's 1 each side

Not that I've had so far. They have been working for me for about a year and a half. If they need to be cleared they will gyrate the opposite direction and slow down (which you'll see on the controller) I just wouldn't use a vinegar bath for them. But other than that I haven't had any issues

Do you have a build thread for that algae tank?

Do you have a build thread for that algae tank?

Its in my 120 build thread near the end. Its only been up 6 weeks and is plumbed into my 120. One ow-10 powerhead.
Its 20x24x18.
