Do you guys think these would work well together? If you guys can suggest anything else I should get as opposed to those please let me know, I'm open to all idea's. I've got about $75 in gift cards. Thank you guys for your time.

Those powerheads look eerily similar to the Tunze pumps, but for 14.95 it can't hurt to try.

I've personally used the Wave Maker you showed and it does work as intended. As I remember is has a knob on the side to control the frequency of when it changes pumps. A few of the outlets are for the wave making and a few are normal outlets.

Let us know how those pumps work out. I'm looking for some cheapos to go in the sump to keep water moving around to keep it clean.
