Looking for wavemaker for 14 biocube.

banthonyb71 · 05/19/2017, 08:31 PM

Im in need of some advice on what wavemaking setup for a 14 bio.

I odered a Hydor smart wave and two 240gph nano powerheads but canceled the order when I realized how limited the smartwave's controls are.

I would like something that will alternate from both on part of the day...to alternating part of the day.

Where Smartwave only allows for one or the other.

I realize I can accomplish more option with an mp10 or an apex or something in a much higher category but I was trying to keep the budget below $100 on the wavemaker.

Look into the Jebao line. Sorry they have lots of new models just get the smallest model.

yeah, I was just looking into them. but when I was reading the reviews on amazon. There was an alarming number of verified purchasers complaining of their unit going dead within a relatively short time span.

I wonder, if I should look into a tunze nanostream

What did you end up going with? I’m looking for a new wave maker for my 25 gallon cube now.

I might add this one shortly as my tank is jammed packed with SPS corals.

Aquamedic makes a great product and is reasonably priced. I don't support Jaebo. I have the Ecodrift 8.0 I believe it is. It was waaay to much for my 30 gallon. They make several others a 4.0 and 6.0 i think that would have been better but i got a great deal. Check them out. They have exceptional capabilities and settings for all wave conditions.

14 is pretty small. You could get a single RW4 and use the return pump to push water the other direction. I had a 29 gallon biocube and used a RW8 but it was dialed down a lot.
