Though that's not to say you cant make reef crest with hardware timers and a little variable resistor, but thats not very efficient.

When you ask anyone in the hobby/ industry what vortechs are, the first thing that'll pop into their minds I would guess would be the features of it being magnet driven and no electricity in water.

Still not a vortech its more a tunze with more modes
Ah arduino...I don't like programming stuffs

I stick with love child....suits better

lol the shape alone screams tunze Dont have to like programming to understand that this isnt a vortech haha, or anywhere close to one. I would guess you can even take the controller and rig it onto a tunze and have a tunze "upgrade"

hey guys, since im a Chinese Canadian here, I did a small research on the new wave maker on the official website in chinese, and also went to check the MSP on the TAOBAO(the chinese version of ebay), your actually looking at $60 for each exclude shipping tho. As a serious hobby into this, I honestly wouldnt risk my tank with this Chinese unmature product, you know even food in China these day is poison etc.
