Hello, I just got a wavemaster pro 2 wavemaker, it can control 4 pumps. My question is, can I put the koralia`s on it, or if not what pumps can be used with the constant on off it will be doing?

To be honest. I do not suggest putting any pumps/powerhead on a wave maker. The koralias are not good for wavemakers, plus they can be pretty dangerous as well, critters can crawl into them when off, and then get cut up when on.

If you must run the wavemaker, get some maxijet 1200's, they work ok, just don't do much flow.

I have heard and there is a thread here about the koralia magnums being ok on wavemakers.

On my old 75 the best flow I ever had was from 3 modded
Maxi-Jet 1200s (where you cut the nozzle off) on a Maxi-Jet
Natural Wave Timer

I had 2 that I just cut the nozzle off in the corners and a
third that I cut the nozzle back into the housing more so
it had a wider throw.

It worked quite well and was very reliable.
