Wavemaker

I’m after a new power head for my 168 litre tank? And suggestion on a decent one? Quite as possible preferably. 😂

Don't know if Reefbay is looking for a new idea but it something like this would help a lot of people. A flow simulator that shows dead spots and recommended placement of heads and wave makers

Is this enough flow for a reef tank 65 gallons

The flow !!

Week 7-10 was more learning. First time drip acclimating a fish! Understanding consumption, local LFS mixed feedback and getting rid of diatoms. Hermits are not friends- one is enough. More than one is a bad idea! Shrimp are not to be feared if you acclimate properly and when you add pods make sure skimmers and wavemakers are off! 10 weeks in, 1 fish and a few corals. Definitely learning a lot!

So couple weeks ago I had to move my trumpet coral bc my RFA smothered it. It’s finally showing signs of coming back 🙌

My favia coral however, went from vibrant and thriving to suddenly turning brown. I had a lot go on in that time… new wave maker that I was fine tuning placement, treating Cyo-Control for a relentless Cyano outbreak… any ideas why it might have suddenly lost its color?

A compact and affordable wavemaker your tanks needs to achieve great flow!

We’ve been using the Jebao SLW-10 in our 15g tank, and the flow has been great. You can tune the flow to your specific needs with its built-in controller.

Tank Size Recommendations

SLW-3: 1–10g

SLW-5: 5–15g

SLW-10: 15–30g

SLW-20: 30–50g

SLW-30: 50–90g

ReefBay is now selling fish supplies and we appreciate your support! 💙

Anyone try out the AF4 from indaquatics? With Apex?

Curious if anyone can tell me thier experience with this product. I also have lots of questions about the config if using Neptune Apex w 0-10v cable. Can you shut off pumps, skimmer? How far (up to tank) can this pump? Have to be return pump?

Tia.

New MP130 from eshopps I love it

Fighting another bout of Cyano, not as bad as the first one few weeks ago but still frustrated it came back. This round I’m adding a protein skimmer this week and also starting to question upgrading my wavemaker. I seem to be getting some dead spots despite changing the wavemaker positions so not sure if I need something stronger? I have a 1500gph Hygger DC, and considering upgrading to an AI Nero 3, which is what I initially wanted but hesitated bc of price. Any thoughts?

weekly update. new wavemaker arriving later today. happy corals right now. #beforecleaning
