Does anyone have their wave makers held on by magnets on 20mm (3/4” glass)?
Searching Amazon, can’t seem to find anything beyond 1/2”
Is my glass just too thick for magnetic wave pumps or can anyone suggest somethIng that would work?

MP40 is supposedly good to 3/4", and MP60 to 1".

Great pumps, but in Canada, $1100 plus 13% tax, OMG, half the price of the tank

I would bet that Tunze would have some options too.

Can’t find these in Canada. Some challenges getting them (or anything) from the US right now.

I’ll just have to wait until goods start moving again...hopefully shortly....becoming a PITA.

Thanks!

To be accurate, that’s $1,100 CDN, plus tax for TWO, but still, are people paying this outrageous price for a wavemakers.

I have 6 Jebao OW-25 which cost me $300, still working years later, but won’t stick to my new 3/4” glass.

Maybe I am just out of touch, man this final rebuild is breaking the bank....rant....finished

A grand for 2 pumps!
Nuts...

I solved my problem, a Jebao CP-120, $250.
Used Jebao OW’s and SW’s for years never a problem.

Now, now...you didn't say it needed it to be cheap.:p

Give us an update later, to let us know if they work through 3/4" glass.

LOL

I did find a Red Sea Gyre 45 for 3/4” glass @ $500 each and need 2.
OMG....that’s more than I paid for both the Pro-Clear tank and stand.
......and if they break down........I will cry....yes...yes...curse then cry.

I will update with either success or failure.......at half the cost...got to take the risk....
