Wavemaker for 50G cube?

[H2Ocooled]

I've looked around a bunch but not really found any good info or recommendation for a good wavemaker for a cube tank. If you are using something what do you have and does it work?

Thanks,
Rich

I don't have a cube tank but there is no specific wavemaker that is best for it. I personally like the gyre style wave makers. I use an Icecap 3k but using 2 1ks would probably be perfect for your tank.

What is your price range?

 

[H2Ocooled]

No price range at this point I just researching for my next build. I've had Tunze wavebox in the past but I never felt like it did a good job, it probably would have been better on a long tank.

I found this for you.

Seems like Ecotech and Gyre pumps are popular.

Thank you! Anyone else have any input?

2 mp10s maybe even more if you want more sps

 

[H2Ocooled]

Yes SPS and some LPS.

id say one of each side then one in the back top should be good for sps imo more for helps and causes less issues then having less flow so its money well spent

How well do the mp10s do for creating an actual back and forth wave in a cube tank?

I use 2 Jaebo pp4 and love them

I also use 2 Jaebo PP4's in my 50g Cube. No complaints here.

How is the wave with the Jaebo PP4?

How is the wave with the Jaebo PP4?

I can create a wave easily with the two pp4 on 50% power

 

[Stickboy15]

very well

I would look into the mp10s and a gyre at the top maybe?

Tank has been setup for a while now, I ended up with 2 Gyre 230 units, lots of random flow.
