Seen on running in the local fish store.. Look really cool! .. They where running them on Maxijets.. rotating the water 360 degrees! .. I was concidering grabbing on for my 29 gallon.. think they would work great on smaller tank.. Kind of Bulky? but cool!

yep...look pretty cool.

Yet those have been around for a while, my LFS uses them on all of their coral tanks.

corvettephreek · 07-05-2005, 09:07 PM

I have one of those.... It helps alot, and my leather corals and anemone get the junk blown off of them without being blown "away" I picked up mine for 18 bucks i think. worth the investment, IMO.

I've been thinking of getting some of these for my new 50g FW tank. I've only heard good things about them, so I probably will be picking some up soon. I'll let you know how they work out for me.

I have not tried them but they had a booth at IMAC and they look very cool.
They had some really small ones that would be great for nano tanks too.
I just ordered a few demo pumps for the LFS.

Oi!

I talked with the owner of HYDOR at IMAC last week, a very nice man and proud of his fish supplies. I told him that I had many of the deflectors, for the price you can't beat them. I have started many threads in the various on-line communities about these deflectors and am very happy that SOMEONE FINALLY figured out a simple way of doing it. They are worth every cent, work great, and clean up in a trice.

If you get one or more you will not be unhappy at all.

Cheers!

Hummm.....looks like we may have to pick up one or two and give these a try!

Brucey · 07-06-2005, 09:41 AM

Yep, my LFS uses these in their nano tanks. I don't think they're much good on larger systems but pretty useful on the smaller scale tanks

I'm running one on my 90 gal. It's a great addition. I have it sitting horizontally so it disrupts the surface and still give enough wave to really get the GSP's and frogspawn near the center bottom of the tank moving.

It needs to be cleaned monthly but it's such a quick job that it's definately worth it.

I need 2 of those gadgets! ... maybe 3

prow · 07-06-2005, 04:19 PM

humm i think i want to try these. looks like a good alternative to wavemakers. how do you think they will work in my tank, it is 72x18x20H????

corvettephreek · 07-07-2005, 05:45 PM

is that a 120 prow? you may need 3 with matching powerheads, or one good one.... depends on whatcha got in it. I use mine along the top so every so often it will disrupt the surface. I love it there, and my 75 Im moving it to will get 2 more. good luck!!!!

fishhead · 07-07-2005, 09:55 PM

Not good enough.

mopecula · 07-27-2005, 10:55 AM

I have used these in the past (5) and if they are not cleaned on a regular basis it seems that the gears wear out or something like that and stop working. I no longer use them unreliable they will stop working in time. just my experience
