Wavemaker upgrade

[Slayyyter]

I've been looking into upgrading my current wavemeaker and was looking into some more affordable options and ran across jebao and they look promising as they have nice control abilities. Currently looking into their gyre looking lineup or their slw but would appreciate suggestions or recommendations on different brands etc.

Budget and features will be the determining factor. I like the Red Sea ReefWave 25/45 gyres, others like the AI Nemo3/5 wavemakers and still others like the EcoTech MP10/40/60 wavemakers. With those you get wireless connectivity, easy of maintenance (some more than others) and the ability to set different schedules and programming through an app.

After looking again some jebao also have an app control ability not sure about the control (in app) but the controller looks fine across most models. Unfortunately 220-270 for a powerhead is def out of my budget :(

How much are you looking to spend?

Tunze makes good, reliable wavemakers that are reasonable in price.

Around 160 or preferably less although this might difficult to achieve

Idk if this will help or not but hope it helps. Like the look of the new M series and the controller definitely looking into the MCP-90 as it's adorable and has the same controller

Think might have found the problem on YouTube, a guy says you need a older android version to get it on WiFi,have tried with my iPad and note 10 with no luck so I just dug out a old android phone to try.

I have 3 of them. If you haven't already, try setting it up right next to your wifi router. Mine wouldn't connect either; until I did this.

Going to order return pump to match next

Hope it works out for you, interested as why it won't work with your note 10 but also means I would have Trouble too as I have an s10 haha
