Since getting my Apex over the summer I have been considering buying a few of the WAV pumps to increase flow in my tank. The reviews of the earlier WAVs were pretty bad from a reliability stand point. From what I have read you were lucky to get a few years out of them.
Has that gotten better with newer pumps? I want to get some but not if they're likely to break within the next year or two.

I have zero issues with mine but they are very strong in movement

My tank is the traditional 6' 125g. So not huge but big enough that I don't think they'll put out too much flow, especially if turned down some.

About how long have you had your running?
Youll be shocked what they put ot even on low settings.
One of mine 2+ years and the other 2 about a year old
