Do you have the cross flow model or just the power head type model?
Wavemaker recommendations?

Or for the same price I could do this : https://fragtasticreef.com/hydor-sm...8aBW40RwhMCeceWfx1S94-t1WRvjoMBgaAoNHEALw_wcB
No I had it around 50% for 4 years.
I would go with the Ice Cap gyre 2k, I have 3, 2 of the old generation 3k's and a 4k in my 315. They move alot of water and are quite. Need very little maintenance and for price are really good units, I've had Tunze, Siice, Jebao, and these are my favorites. I run some cheap SunSun for my QT tanks but I am not really concerned with one failing. I've been more opent to the MP40 recently that I found out about the issue with the vinegar but I just do not see the value.

I do personally have an Android, but I have tried on the wife’s iPhone and 2 of my iPads. Aside from the app being as clunky as can be when you finally get in it, getting connected to the dang thing in the first place is a nightmare. You have to link to its WiFi and as soon as you try it disappears or disconnects. The solution for me was to hold the factory reset button for 15 seconds and try again, and after a few times that works. I set it up after a lot of struggling and won’t mess with the settings again. If you look up reviews on the waver you will see pretty much nobody’s having a good time with these things. they need to make a gen2 waver, if this thing just had a few simple knobs on the front of a box It would be my favorite piece of gear. Controllable ac pumps is a great idea, and The pumps are still a crazy good value, Rossmont got that part right.

I used jebaos for 2 years - cheap & powerfull, but noisiest equipment of my tank, also even if I used 2 identical pumps, one had a much higher flow than the other; Another issue is how fast they loose power - I had to clean them very often to keep the flow decent; once a bit of slime built on propelers - bye-bye flow;
I replaced them with Tunze - worth every cent;

If you have the loop system (hopefully the bluetooth) I would go with their wavemakers. Smaller price point with all the functionality with the app as the others mentioned here. I have 4 of them in my 50 gallon at the moment. One back left pointed up for surface agitation & side left stragith across middle, one back right pointed up for surface agitation & side right straight across middle and have them running 100% on 0.5 sec bursts alternating. Gives over 2400 gph in the tank but using the master slave it keeps all my softies and such still upright instead of blowing over and great continuous surface movement.
They are also small, powerful and silent which is nice. Only con I have noticed is once a month I do have to remove and clean propeller otherwise it's flow gets restricted. But I mean, you should honestly be doing upkeep like that to prolong the life of equipment anyways.
