Wavysea

[zoomin]

I used one for almost a year and really liked it.

I used it on the return from sump via a Eheim 1262 in a 60g tank and it was the only flow I needed (LPS not SPS).

I have switched things up and now use 2 nano streams for flow, not due to any fault of the wavysea, but because I have become a member of the slow flow through the sump club.

There is one design flaw with the wavysea though - it loses it's memory when powered down.

In most cases not a big deal as reprogramming takes all of 12 seconds.

oh, and you're in luck:

He has still got the seaswirl as another option though.... really good price on it too....

Anyway back to my question.... any reccomendations on using a powerhead or just use the existing pump that came with the biocube?

the wavy sea's are great thou, but with that being said when the power goes off the unit will start moving in the clock wise motion again when the power comes back on. and then you have the unit going in circles again until you reprogram it. pushing water over the top of the tank .
that is why i sold mine cheap to get rid of it.

That depends on what you want to keep. If you get enough flow from your existing pump for your needs, just hook it up to the Wavysea and your done. You won't need as much overall flow with a Wavysea as you would with stationary outlets.

I love my Wavyseas. I have one in each front corner of my tank, great for random flow. They do have their problems, but they can be repaired if you're handy. Mine have had the mounts for the worm gear break off, but I repaired them better than new with Weldon adhesive. The memory problem is easily fixed by plugging them into a computer battery backup.

Zoomin, why don't you mount a nano stream to your Wavysea
