Help me decide on wavemakers

[Chiefmaster30]

I need help on deciding on updating my wavmakers for my 125 gallon 60” long tank. Should I go with a 3k icecap gyre or jebao and if jebao which one and how many? Any ideas?

If you go with Jebao go with 4 pp8 two on back two on sides
I believe there's pp15 also that could work or a mix of both

We have ice cap gyre and love it

 

[Chiefmaster30]

Would one icecap gyre be enough?

Ours is on a 6 1/2 ft long by 18” tall X 2 ft deep in frag tank and it does fine

Will also depend on your scraping we do have live rocks also in the tank

Right now I have 4 wavemakers in there but there all the cheap suction cup pumps and I’m tired of them falling off. 2 1250gph a voyager 800gph stream pump and a 800gph cheapo.

What about two rw15’s?

Hubby said better off with jaebos for that size

 

[Chiefmaster30]

2 rw15’s or 4 pp8’s

I have 2 Tunze nanostream 6055’s on my 125 and I run them opposite each other from 10% to 85%. 12 second in high flow

On 100% they will splash water on my hood

 

[Chiefmaster30]

I can’t afford tunze

 

[ConnieHanson]

2 rw15’s or 4 pp8’s

Hubby said 2 15s is what he would get but only expect about 2 years out of them

 

[Chiefmaster30]

Thanks! I’m getting toooverwhelmed bc there are so many hydor models.

 

[Chiefmaster30]

There are the evolutions, the magnums, the 3rd gens.

 

[Chiefmaster30]

The rw’s, the pp’s. On and on

Hopefully this will help you decide:

I totally understand anything other than high dollar brands like tunze or Echo tech marine you are only going to get a couple good years but they are affordable and we have to Jaebo WP 60s on our 300 we have had them couple or so years.
