WTB Wavemaker

Anybody have an old wavemaker lying around. I am unfortunately stuck with koralias right now, and am always on a budget. Looking for something to run 4 of them.

If they are the old style Koralias they will work on a wavemaker but make clicking sounds every time they start up, And will shorten the life of the power head. FYI

Chris, wait for the Hydor Smartwave to come out, especially if you have the evo pumps as it was designed for them. It's only $60.

Koralia Smartwave pump controller coming soon from Hydor

Here's a video of it, at minute 3:40: YouTube - ‪Mr. Saltwater Tank's Coverage of Marine Aquarium Expo (MAX)‬‏

Glad you mentioned this, Bill! I just got a power strip with 3 cycled outlets for wavemaking. Next question, will it shorten the life of a koralia evo 1400? Those are what I have.

Are you politely saying "don't waste your money on that, and just save up for 2 MP 40's"

No, But that's a great idea! It's up to you and your wallet but the MP40's would be the best option. IMO
