wavemaker

[titustitus]

Hi guys, I have a small 5gallon tank and wonder if there are any super small wave makers out there. I checked c328 cos I live in clementi and they only have those huge ones. And where can I get rotifiers to feed my sps? Thanks in advance. Still really new to reefing and the market!

Can get wp-10....

[Evolutionz]

Think wp10 would still be way too big. You can get a sun sun 2000l/hr nano wave maker.

does it hv a sump? If yes consider getting a powerfull return would be just nice..

If not Sun Sun has some small modeles wavemakers for Nanos

Cheers!

I know the perfect wavemaker for tanks of this size. In fact, its actually a very small powerhead. I'm using one as well, I believe we have the same tanks judging from your tank pic in another thread.

The model of this powerhead is Boyu SP-101 (the smallest) if I'm not wrong. Cost about $5-$7 at PolyArt / C328.

haha my tank is the rainbow farm tank set! hmm... i stay very near clementi and went those 2 shops but just cant find the right wavemaker! either too big or too expensive ($68!!!)

oh wait.. a powerhead is ok too? need not be those fan type wavemaker?

[Willy Ng]

How should we place the wave maker in our tanks? The best position? Put low and blow up against the glass? Or put high blowing low against the glass? Some ppl said that it will be good to blow at the back of the live rocks against the glass so that there will not be dirt or algae build up behind. True?

Since your tank only 5gal, you can buy those 200-400l/h mini pump to use as wave maker. So far the best, reliable and price affortable one is Tunze Universal pump Mini 5024.04 which I have one more than 4 years....price is SGD20 nia.
