Anyone else recognize a strong resemblance to a certain newly-introduced wavemaker?

That was actually out first. I thought the nero copied them.

They been out since the beginning of 2018 I think. Picked one up at Aquashella.

May 2018, apparently. Kind of interesting to have basically the same guts (and principal of rotating "stator"), presumably from the same factory in asia. In one respect, the RB version seems considerably better in that the guard (the actual guard, not the mesh kludge) would be better at preventing capture of snails and small fish.

The selling point to my wife was that this one comes with a cable that allows you to use one of those portable battery packs to power it, granted it is a manual switch over but it is better than the bubblers I've been using. Luckily power outages here dont tend to last more than a couple hours.

I think the initial iteration of the waveline puck was the earliest of these style pumps to market. Late 2017 I think. Mostly a dud if memory serves.
