I want to create wave in my iq5. Any other smaller wavemaker to intro? Seems to me that vortech mp10 is the smallest.

All wave makers in the market is too big for IQ5 so go for Tunze Universal pump Mini :) .

Get the Hydor Nano wavemaker. 900L/h output, very small and won't take up space. Reliable and good.

I have both...IMHO..It's still too big for IQ5. Tunze universal pump mini so far is the best choice ^_^ !

Tunze universal pump mini sounds good but i wonder if it can be fitted behind the rear compartment of my iq5. Any gurus running on iq5 dymax mind sharing what power head u guys are using? i don't want it to be hanging inside my tank but behind the rear compartment.

The Tunze mini can fit into the rear compartment of an IQ3, so that should not be a problem. However, you have to be clear and provide more details the next time you post your questions. A Vortech wave maker is like a magnet cleaner that has a dry side that needs to stay out of water, so getting one and trying to fit to the rear compartment is :pinch:.

Hi baby,

Aren't you know that wave makers are majority inside the tank includes MP10 (wetside)? So why are you asking if you are not intend to put inside the tank :pinch: ?

btw, Tunze mini is small and it has 4 suck cups to hold on the glass wall so it can use as a wave maker if you wanted to....but it's weak for use as a return pump... :whistle !!!!

problem settled. Purchased a powerhead which is small / powerful enough to sit behind the tank's rear compartment. Thanks for sharing peacemaker / James and i didn't know there's an age limit for this forum :)

SK-II, don't get the mp10, it is too much for your tank.. try the new polario, 2 way wavemaker, you can see and get it from madpetz.

Bro, I think even the smallest Polario M4 is too powerful for the IQ5.

SK-II, your best option is to get a Tunze Mini as a wave maker (placement - in the display area), or just use it as a return pump.

I did! Previously i put the eheim compact 600 there. And it sucked a clown fish there and it died. Was so sad so i took it out. :( But of course i didn't set the powerhead to it's max which is 600. But still my clown got sucked there. Horrible stuff, so i removed it and that's the result why i didn't wanna get another power head to place in the tank as it might suck my fishes there. I don't know what else i can do so i thought a wave maker might not suck anything in. Prolly im wrong? lol.

If i'm not wrong, an iq5 is only 13 liters. It doesn't make sense to put an eheim compact600 inside an iq5. A tunze mini is a better choice.

:score: .

Clownfishes are not the best swimmers, but they can take on much more powerful wave makers like Vortechs or Tunze, let alone a 350l/hr flow rate... it is obvious that your clown fish died before it got sucked by the pump.

Wave makers and pumps work the same way: there is always an inlet and a outlet. They have to draw water in and push it out. Its just like your electric fan, if you cover the back, there will not be any air pushing out.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
