I bought a hygger. I forgot which one it’s called but it’s pretty decentHi guys,
was wondering which wave makers are good for a nano tank.
before buying one that maybe to powerful.
thanks in advance.
rich.
Hi do you know if you can run multiple pumps in a sync and anti-sync operations within the tank?Jebao ELW-3m is a "Nero style" wavemaker that maxes out at 660gph. It is the lowest flow, controllable wavemaker I've found, and works GREAT in tiny tanks.
For reference, the Hygger Mini's MINIMUM setting is about the same as the Jebao's MAXIMUM setting.
What size is your tank? I just ordered two of them (ELW-5M) model from Amazon, for a 20 gal AIO mixed40 litres? That's about 11 gallons. That is a pretty small tank. I run a 15 gallon and have had the different power heads people are mentioning here and those will propel your tank to outer space!
I have ended up with an Jebao SLW 3 and it's perfect. But even then I am running it at the lowest setting.
I would not recommend anything bigger that that. Unless you have all SPS. I keep mostly LPS.

15 gal AIO. I think the equivalent to my SLW 3 would be the ELW 3M. Although I think the size difference between ELW 3M and 5M is pretty small and since you have a 20 gal, that sounds like it would be great. Depending on your livestock and rock work, it may be just right or too much. I'd be surprised if it wasn't enough, unless we're talking all SPS in your tank.What size is your tank?

I have a mixed...I have two ZJKT Bluetooth wavemakers on it right now (had them for 2yrs, going on 3), however, one of them keeps getting jammed, with nothing visually and after soaking it in citric acid, still jams, so its time to replace them both.15 gal AIO.

This is super helpful! Thanks for sharing and definitely glad I got the smaller of the two for my 15 gal.Here's a comparison shot of the ELW-3m and the MLW-5
It's actually a good bit smaller. Flow difference is 660gph for the 3 and 790gph for the 5.
