DC controllable pump needed, Seios are AC, and they need a really special controller for their "controllability". I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't do this on a Vortech as well even though it supposedly has that feature built in, I can't get a wave with 2 on my tank for nothing, but the displacement of water might help matters. (although different design, might be worth a shot)

and also you need a controller for the power head aswell?

the list is then a PH, a controller (7091?), and your DIY controller, and the scrap acrylic..
He builds the controller himself.

i am thinking this is too big and ambitious a project for my 20G tank..

i did however stumble across a 6055 for $200 brand new..
That would be some wave you get on there
