Wavemaker Recommendation

[Tuan’s Reef]

I had the Nuvo 10 with a koralia nano powerhead with good results . Check out the iM mighty jet dc return pump. You might be just fine with this pump and the spin stream for flow in such a small tank.

Perhaps, but I guarantee, there would be more with only 1 or 2 "wavemaker pumps", and you can actually control them, not just point them at each other to get some random flow. To each their own though. If they are working for you, then that is cool with me.

Cool.

I have a Sicce return with the spin stream, large dead spot in the back is the issue, detritus just piles up

I have a couple koralias for my 20 gallon frag. One is rated for 20 and other is for 40. I think they are really weak imo and build up alot of detritus.

Hydor sent me a pair of free gen 3 powerheads and im very pleased with how they run. I have them in the back of my tank but they do the job well. I even considered buying the wave controller thing to maximize the pumps. I love that they are so easy to aim wherever and a bunch of different head attachments.

I like the Hydor but aren't they AC, I really want DC

They are. The controller they sell i think is there attempt to mimic slightly dc pumps. I would seriously consider checking them out i think you'll be surprised.

For budget friendly DC pumps you can’t go wrong with Jebao!

 

[Backreefing]

Ive strongly considered them, i hear they are loud though.

I have one jebao so 10 ( the smallest) it’s totally silent I’d get it from amazon. I have 2 of the so 25 s they are silent as well.

I have Jebao SOW-15s which are probably too big for your tank but I think they are great.

Quiet?

Quiet?

They are quiet except for the sounds of the waves they make.
