Default Coralife wavemaker. Anyone using one

I have been reading up on the Coralife 5800 wave maker and they seem to be getting some decent reviews and at a good price too. The stated downside appears to be a suction cup system but they are compatible with the korila magnets which I have lots of.
My question is, is anyone on here running them or know anyone who is. You can get a set with a controller and 2 2900gph power heads for under 400$ from j&l. Though they seem to have the specs reversed on their site.(saying the smaller system has larger output etc.) anyhow just thought I would throw this out there and see what people are saying. I think I saw another thread on here about them but I could not find it.

Yup, very happy with my DC5800, as stated in the other thread. Koralia suction magnets work fine. And yes, J&L have the specs screwed up on their site.

The 2900 pumps put out a lot of flow. I have a 72 inch tank, and it really moves stuff around. I use the light sensor to slow them down at night and give everything a rest.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
