Wavemaker Option Question

[sweeney120]

I have a 150 FOWLR tank and would like to add a wavemaker. I am thinking about going with the JBL Ocean Pulse Wavemaker and at least one Maxi-Jet powerhead. Do you think I should go with the Maxi-Jet 900 or 1200 for my size tank? The tank is 60x28x24 and has dual overflows with dual marineland outputs in each corner.

Personally I would skip the maxi-jets and go with Koralias, but if I had to pick either 900 or 1200, i would do 1200. i like more flow in my tanks!

Maxi Jets are not designed for starting and stopping like on controllers or timers plus they don't have much flow and draw a huge amount of power compared to pumps like Koralia Evolutions and Sicce Voyagers which are designed with controllers in mind.
I had a RedSea wavemaker but sold it and a bunch of other equipment and replaced it all with a Reekeeper Lite controller which has lots more felexibility for not much more money.

Koralias have a tendency to burn when turned on and off repeatedly.
