As of rn just the return pump, gonna be buying a wave maker, still eondering which one, i want the ai nero 3, but way to expensive, would have been cool since i have the ai prime 16hd and i could all sync with their app. What would you suggest?

I have the Hygger Controllable wavemaker from Amazon.. under $80 and is super quiet!

Nice ill look into that, is it a good fit for a 25 gallon acquarium?

Yep! I have this one and it’s for 20-100 gallons and there’s a stronger one for 30-150 gallons

I was thinking to go with a sicce, the voyager nano 2000, do you reckpn it would be a good fit? The hygger also looks good

My Hello Reef kit came with a Sicce Nano wavemaker, I don’t know which specific model but I ended up replacing it with the Hygger immediately bc of the noise and vibration.

Expensive? Wait till SPS teaches you tuition fees 😂 I nuked a Walt Disney in a month-old tank. Gear lasts years — bad coral choices don’t

Well well well, ahhaah. Since it's my first acquarium i wont be going all out in terms of corals, maybe on a next one ill throw out the last pennies of my wallet to buy "expensive" equipment 😂
