Best budget wave maker

[Luis1992]

Hello! I am looking to upgrade the circulation pumps on my 140g reef. Dimensions are 60x24x24. I currently have a Jebao sow-8 on one end and a tunze 6065 on the other. The tunze completely overpowers the jebao and my currently mostly goes in one direction. Are there any pumps I can get on a bit tighter budget that can create a randomized wave motion without having to spend on something like the the EcoTech Vortech.

I know Aqamai can do it. But they aren’t so cheap, although cheaper than ecotech.

Aqamai is hydor

That’s great!! Any idea if there’s an accessory to randomize the wave?

Aqamai!! Fully controllable with app. Look at petco! They have sales on them for a great price.

It’s built in wifi control. There’s a whole app where you can control EVERYTHING

Get more sow-8's or swap them out for 15's. Or forget random flow and just get another 6065.

So it’s the same company as hydor and how’s the quality?

Looks and functions just like the hydor expect controllable! I got lucky and got mike when petco had the $30 off. I should have gotten 2!!

I have a KPM and a KPS. I lost the KPM magnetic mounts so I’m ****** right now. I hope the KPS will be good enough for my 40g breeder FOWLR

We (my wife and I) have a Jabao that can pulse/increase-decrease speeds and such. It is cheaper. We only use it on our smaller tank but it works well without complaint.

I have a 40 breeder FOWLR and I am hoping one KPM is enough. Otherwise I have a KPS I will Use. The KPS is reallllllllly small.

Hydor has superb customer service. I lost the magnetic mount and they sent me a new one free of charge. Just save your receipt
