Default Wavemakers.. Thoughts?!

I'm thinking of getting a wavemaker for my 90g. Thoughts on which brand or unit to get? Any problems, issues, success?

I've heard good things on the WP-40 with wavebox option. I think it ends up being a lot cheaper than the Tunze. Try www.reefsupplycanada.com a vendor on here as Nick sells the combo. Not sure on pricing off the top of my head.

Depends. How big is the tank, can you hide it fairly well? They're a fair size. If you have a controller, you can do the same thing with 2 pumps without the bulky box.

Had one, sold it. It did what it was supposed to do but I could hear the thing running on the main floor and the tank is in the basement.

I have pumps on a controller and the wave goes over top of my cross braces, that's enough water movement for me -lol
