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:

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

What do you think the best powerhead to use with it is? the Maxijet or another? its only a small 29 gallon oceanic biocube. Wire it from the existing return pump or get another powerhead?

Only buy this unit if you never plan to send it back for repairs. My unit was broken in the box and that was six months ago. I tried to send it back and the company will not take it or even look at it. The company that sells them to the stores says it is not their problem and will not replace it even though it has not even seen water. Only buy it if the store will waranty it for you, mine will not !!!!!
