A wave maker is something I have never used and to be honest I thought that they moved about a bit like a oscillating fan. Looks very good for the price. Thanks for the upload. You're going to love the pump I use in my next filter video.
Just bought this for my new tank, along with some lava rock that you always talk about in your videos. Now the anticipation waiting for it in the mail! Thanks for the review!
I have this. Use it on my saltwater aquarium. Its awesome for smaller tanks like my 100 liter. (PRO TIP - place the wave maker near the top back corner, point it up at the surface & hide the magnetic glass cleaner behind it)
Good product for the money. Cheap Chinese is somewhat a thing of the past. My new Sun Sun canister seems comparable to others and it was $30. Some design features I have never seen before, making for more versatility. Wave makers produce a way more natural turbulent motion. Always use 'em. Hey I know it has been forever, but should I write up a bio and send over a pic of me in front of my tank? My dad got sick this summer and I had little time. How is the Osmocote plus quantifying going? And DAMN! Look at your subs! Great work.
I always thought that the flowrate, even on the lowest power wavemaker is way too strong for my small tank. Thanks for pointing out that the flowrate is much more gentle than powerhead flow. I always feared that that the strong flow would blast away all my plants, but now i need a wavamaker thanks to you. Lol
Is there a way to turn down the speed? With a potentiometer maybe? I added one to a 120 with a sump. I decided I needed more circulation in the tank. This thing is so strong it scares the fish. Some love it. I don't use it 24/7, I'm trying to simulate tide change, in addition to picking detritus up off the gravel/sand.
Hi nice video, i use a Sunsun JVP 101 and an Aquael circulation pump in my 20 gallon marine. The Sunsun is adequate for surface agitation and the Aquael is great for distrubution flow around the tank. So no dead spots and happy fish!
Another great video. Very interesting, I watched it right to the end. I always assumed these were purely for cosmetic purpose. Thanks for the info my friend
Hi Mike I was wonder if you can help. I have a 75 gallon freshwater aquarium the biggest fish would be at parrot fish I am having nitrate problems I have been doing water changes once a week taking out 10 gallons. I have and RO maker and I have two filters on my tank one wet dry it's for over 100 gallon tank and a canister filter it's good for 60 gallon tank and I just bought purigen for both filters. I have good movement on the top of the tank. Haven't been using any chemicals I try not to. I feed my fish every other day feeding them very little. Everybody seems to be happy they're eating. I was wondering if I should get a wave maker would that help me with my nitrates by having better water movement?? Or anything suggest please let me know Thank You
Hi Mike, if i keep it positioned upwards like you said will it prevent harm my Black Moor Gold Fish Or Shubunkin Gold Fish? Also does it help in cooling the water temp?Please let me know?
My Sun Sun 304-B canister filter is a beast. Just upgrade the filter media to Marine Pure balls or Biohome pellets and it's a workhorse. Got it for 100 bucks on eBay.
I usually pick power heads over wave makers because they are not as bulky but if they are more spread out like you say than I will give them a try. my wood shrimp wrestle over the best spot some times. lol
I feel ya, some powerheads are fairly adjustable as far as left and right but not up and down. The wave makers are pretty sweet and even a small one like this is perfect for even larger tanks. I like to put 2 of them on either side of tanks 75 and up to get a good cross current going.
Ive got one of these in a two pack and they are not bad. sometines when you plug them in they will run backwards but you just unplug them and plug them back up and they run fine. only real problem ive had is the vents on them are to big and they have killed two of my danios.
Hiii, I just bought one for my 29G planted tank which i started recently... Do you think the flow will be overkill even if i face it towards the surface of the tank? I Got Vals,Wisteria, some crypts,bacopa etc ... Will be a lot of help if you replied soon. Also i added a Video of my tank and any suggestion from a pro like you would be great.
I like this wave maker too, except there's no inlet filter so dwarf grass tends to clog this thing up to the point that it affects the performance greatly. Any solutions for this issue? Additionally it blended some of slower moving fish into chop-sui
Yo! I'm currently using air stones but seriously thinking of switching to wave makers! Are the sources of heat? I have small tanks and localized heat fluctuations can be problematic
Hey there, if I get one of these can I point it more towards the surface to get good water breakage? And is there any danger of the fish getting killed in the propellers? I have a 140 UK liter tank with mostly live bearers, corys and 3 small plecs. Thanks
kieraevans87 yeah if they're small, sick or slow moving they can get sucked into the impellor and enviscerated. Unfortunately this thing has no sponge filter to protect the little fish from death by 1000 knives.
I have a submersible filter and it also creates a wave so why should I buy this? How will it be beneficial to my fishes.... can anyone pls help in explaining
i have the same ones in my 46 gallon bow front i had to take them out for the same reason they were to strong,thats why im reviewing this one with less gph i believe it should be good with this weaker pump
Check out these RW/PP programmable wave makers, I have 3 of the PP4's and there great for my 125 and 90 gal tanks, You could prolly get away with a PP4, but the PP8 would also be a great choice. RW/PP wave makers: amzn.to/2gOMTid
Will they have a chance of damaging fish and or shrimp? Do you think I could use this size on my 150 gallon 6ft tank with pressurized co2 to spread the co2 a biit? Check my channel to see the tank and co2 distribution.
Ya it should be fine for shrimp, this model is pretty weak for a 150 gal. However if the purpose of it is just for CO2 dispersal, you should be just fine with it!
ADU Aquascaping Dave ill shoot you an email on the one I got from you in the past, Osmocote is treating me well like usual, im slowely getting to the experiment... time is running out with school on the horizon....
I cant believe i listened to this review. I purchased this pump and wow, did i make a mistake. It does not work under water, it makes an extremely loud clacking noise and creates ZERO water flow. the blade is choppy and does not spin properly under water. extremely disappointed and i feel scammed for 12$ by another shitty asian company.
Tanked With Aussie ive bought 4 different pumps and 1 hob from asia, not one single pump would move water. i gotrefunds but they is definitely somehting up wih there pumps
Considering that most pumps are manufactured in asia, I don't think that's the problem. Unless you are getting the cheap - most of the time, no brand - then that may be the problem. Try sourcing the same powerhead in the US market, and see if you have the same problem. It could be a different in voltage and amps that may be causing a problem?
Interesting, I bought the same Sun-Sun from Amazon and returned it the same day, it was JUNK. Made a horrible noise and didnt move any water whatsoever.
im gonna get a wave maker now, ty! I have a powerhead but it fckin killed 3 of my goldfish T-T. The suction was too powerful for my fishes to swim past even with a barrier. I miss my goldies T-T DO NOT USE POWERHEAD PPL! THEY ARE FISH KILLERS.
Came for the Sun Sun review. Subbed because I like your energy and way you explain the product.
+ExtremeWeatherJunkie Thanks!!!
A wave maker is something I have never used and to be honest I thought that they moved about a bit like a oscillating fan. Looks very good for the price. Thanks for the upload.
You're going to love the pump I use in my next filter video.
Nice! looking forward to it man!!! These pumps are more than worth it for the price, I have a whole box of them....hahaa Always find a use for them.
DIY AQUAPROS Woah, just had a look at how many subscribers you have now and it is flying - nice one, man.
Thanks bud! I owe some of that to you!!!
DIY AQUAPROS Not sure about that, man. You were heading in the right direction from day 1, lol
Just bought this for my new tank, along with some lava rock that you always talk about in your videos. Now the anticipation waiting for it in the mail! Thanks for the review!
I have this. Use it on my saltwater aquarium. Its awesome for smaller tanks like my 100 liter.
(PRO TIP - place the wave maker near the top back corner, point it up at the surface & hide the magnetic glass cleaner behind it)
Bought one for 6€ from ebay for my 15g nano reef. It gave me zero problems for the past 6 months. Works just as it should.
Wayke what model? Have the same tank size but idk which model to get

I just got the Sunsun Wave Maker JVP 110 it works very fine!
I always thought that the flowrate, even on the lowest power wavemaker is way too strong for my small tank. Thanks for pointing out that the flowrate is much more gentle than powerhead flow. I always feared that that the strong flow would blast away all my plants, but now i need a wavamaker thanks to you. Lol
I bought one like that on Amazon. it's totally pants in 300l tank. water only moves from 6 cm of the devics
Is there a way to turn down the speed? With a potentiometer maybe?
I added one to a 120 with a sump. I decided I needed more circulation in the tank. This thing is so strong it scares the fish. Some love it. I don't use it 24/7, I'm trying to simulate tide change, in addition to picking detritus up off the gravel/sand.

I just got mine to from Amazon Today. It's great! thank you for the tips on how to use an angle it.
So I just bought one of these. Will it suck up my ghost shrimp? I have a 55g with about 20 ghost shrimp. Thanks.
I got the 1600 gph for a reef tank and works really well
Hi Mike

Ya I totally need to get my hands on a SunSun canister, heard very good things about them, value is always number one.
I usually pick power heads over wave makers because they are not as bulky but if they are more spread out like you say than I will give them a try. my wood shrimp wrestle over the best spot some times. lol
I feel ya, some powerheads are fairly adjustable as far as left and right but not up and down. The wave makers are pretty sweet and even a small one like this is perfect for even larger tanks. I like to put 2 of them on either side of tanks 75 and up to get a good cross current going.

Always good info, love this channel.
i have the sun sun 402 thats a really good powerhead as well
Will it work in biofloc tank as the water in it is full of sludge and floc?
Yo! I'm currently using air stones but seriously thinking of switching to wave makers! Are the sources of heat? I have small tanks and localized heat fluctuations can be problematic
Hey there, if I get one of these can I point it more towards the surface to get good water breakage? And is there any danger of the fish getting killed in the propellers? I have a 140 UK liter tank with mostly live bearers, corys and 3 small plecs. Thanks
kieraevans87 yeah if they're small, sick or slow moving they can get sucked into the impellor and enviscerated. Unfortunately this thing has no sponge filter to protect the little fish from death by 1000 knives.
I'm getting of of these so i can stop that LF error on my smart heater. thank for the Review.
Do you know if I can buy only the helix? My one was cutted because my pico reef is too small, but I cutted too much and now need another...
hi
is front portion of the device removable? to clean the impeller as a maintenance routine.... if yes can u make a video for the same
You need to medicate your pump for Ich @ 2:09
Just kidding
This is a good pump, very good value and they last me going on 5 months strong now
I bought this and the adjustable axis ball thing is super loose, any idea how to make it more rigid?
I have a submersible filter and it also creates a wave so why should I buy this? How will it be beneficial to my fishes.... can anyone pls help in explaining
How quiet is it ?
could you please tell me if I have two of these facing opposite direction for my 175 gallon tank. will it be okay?
Would you recommend this for a 29 gallon?
Thanks for that video, really helps me!
Does it change your water temp at all?
Is this a good wave maker for a 20 gal? Or should I get a lower powered one?
+Grant Worrell perfect for a 20
I baught this but can't figure out how to take it appart to clean the propeller
Am I use one of these for a chiclid tank? 120 litre tank?cheers
Im going to buy one next month
Would you suggest putting this into a 10g tank
+Mason Dyer
Hydor koralia nano 240 is better
Mine came in reverse both of them, is there a way to fix that reverse problem ??
Could I just use a submersible pump as a wave maker ?
Is it too strong for a 10g?
does it make noise?
I got the 800 gph version of this pump for my 45 long and its waaaay too much flow. Not sure what to do now.
i have the same ones in my 46 gallon bow front i had to take them out for the same reason they were to strong,thats why im reviewing this one with less gph i believe it should be good with this weaker pump
hi can you use these with guppys and endler guppys
what gph wavemaker will i be needing for 150gal?
Check out these RW/PP programmable wave makers, I have 3 of the PP4's and there great for my 125 and 90 gal tanks, You could prolly get away with a PP4, but the PP8 would also be a great choice.
RW/PP wave makers: amzn.to/2gOMTid
A big one lol. Check out Tunze or Hydor.
My fish love this product.
Can wave maker good to be use at koi fish?
i have 15 gallons is this too much for my tank?
wayyyy too much, just use the flow from your HOB filter or a small skimmer for a tank that size 😎
ok thanks

Can I have one with a 29 gallon tank?
How will it fair in a tall 15gal
ADU Aquascaping Dave ill shoot you an email on the one I got from you in the past, Osmocote is treating me well like usual, im slowely getting to the experiment... time is running out with school on the horizon....
can I put one in a 10g tank?

Ludwigia palustris!
Mine doesnt stick well, it falls always
Any wave maker for 10gallon tank
Need one for a 2ft fish tank
mines making a horrible noise when its underwater any solutions
***** gonna go back to my power head this thing is garbage
How much did....???$$$$$??
I bought 3 jvp 110's for $18 bucks on amazon
I cant believe i listened to this review. I purchased this pump and wow, did i make a mistake. It does not work under water, it makes an extremely loud clacking noise and creates ZERO water flow. the blade is choppy and does not spin properly under water. extremely disappointed and i feel scammed for 12$ by another shitty asian company.
me to brow
Then you should demand for a refund. You have a faulty pump.
Tanked With Aussie ive bought 4 different pumps and 1 hob from asia, not one single pump would move water. i gotrefunds but they is definitely somehting up wih there pumps
Considering that most pumps are manufactured in asia, I don't think that's
the problem. Unless you are getting the cheap - most of the time, no brand - then that may be the problem. Try sourcing the same powerhead in the US market, and see if you have the same problem. It could be a different in voltage and amps that may be causing a problem?
Dakota Outdoors it is a pathetic pump and this video is fake. you can't agitate plants that far away.
Interesting, I bought the same Sun-Sun from Amazon and returned it the same day, it was JUNK. Made a horrible noise and didnt move any water whatsoever.
erxkeel Thats a bummer, I guess you always run the risk of getting a faulty one, but that can be said about pretty much any product :/
DIY AQUAPROS same here, faulty x 2
I have 1 and I don't use it is very noise
directionality
i'm going to use directionality instead of direction and look real cool .
of course there is no such word but who cares !
I just bought a similar cheap wave maker but it is so loud that it is upsetting my fish, does anyone know if there are any methods to make it quieter?
Kira kira harga nya berapa
Good information. Could you talk any faster ? Lol...
:)
Hybou Hahaha, Ill try and slow it down next time!
im gonna get a wave maker now, ty! I have a powerhead but it fckin killed 3 of my goldfish T-T. The suction was too powerful for my fishes to swim past even with a barrier. I miss my goldies T-T DO NOT USE POWERHEAD PPL! THEY ARE FISH KILLERS.
Bangusssss
your web site is dead
Mine is a total piece of junk...creates no current and the propeller continuously makes a clicking noise like its hitting the shroud. Dont buy it
horrible product. my came with a cracked fan guard. it also makes terrible clacking noises when it's in the water.
agree
jesse grat that's the manufacturers problem not the product it self
VERY UNSAFE. Cable break and KILLED my FLOWERHORN.
i got mine for 7.39 on ebay.ca
F
suction fails
kanda kumar How long have you had the pump??? Ive had like 6 of them for 6 mo + with no issues. Thats a bummer for sure.
Suction cups do actually slide like that when forced
What type of wave maker can I get for a -7gal?
