SRC Member souphamster Posted November 13, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi, Wondering if it is really useful to have a wave maker for a nano cube 24g. I am going hk next mth, so planning to get the wave maker. Actually what is the main use for a wave maker? does it make my sand bed more clean? Presently my surface of my sand bed is very dirty... will it help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member reeftask Posted November 13, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2007 wavemaker makes water current. It dont clean anything. Corals like wave current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member scubajazz Posted November 13, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2007 Just buy the Hydro Koralia 1 which come with magnet (plug n play) for your 24G, I am using that right now n the current is just nice, no need to go all the way to HK n buy unless it is much cheaper. Maybe u should try to look for a cheap good skimmer instead which can house in the nanocube filter compartment which our 24G miss it the most. If u do find one, let me know, I am looking for 1.

SRC Member mopiko Posted November 13, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 13, 2007 think the dirty sand could be due to high po4. you might wan to get a sand drifting star or sand dollar to help stir and clean up the sand. hk damn shiok. fish market and tung choi street got lotsa shops. enjoy!

SRC Member souphamster Posted November 17, 2007 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 17, 2007 the surface skimmer - during my purchase of my nano tank, they didnt come with it. I actually called the main distributor and compliant about it. The sales rep was so kind enough that he send the plastic thingy to my nearest fish shop(where they carry nano tanks)and i collected it FOC. I think anywhere where they sell nano tanks do carry this skimmer. Wavemake- you guys know how much is the Hydro Koralia 1, have been trying to find online in google.. doesnt seem to locate me any fish shop here selling. How much isit? HK - Yeah, a good place to grab cheap stuffs. I actually went all the way to China guangzhou to buy my chiller and my protein skimmer for my nano. Just fit nicely to my back compartment. Cheap also, $8 only. haha.. Chiller i bought about $150. Handcarry.. LOL.. so tiring trip.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member scubajazz Posted November 17, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 17, 2007 The Hydro Koralia wavemaker comes in 5 size, if u using 24G nano use the Hydro Koralia 1, anything smaller than 24G should be the Hydro Koralia Nano, the rest if for bigger tank. You can get it at Aquamarin at Katong or Jln Kayu. Saw it at Clementi too, the one with famous claypot rice, can't remember the block. You are lucky to get a cheap skimmer, so is it good, got a pic to see how is it like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member scubajazz Posted November 17, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 17, 2007 Forget to state the price, it is $68 for hydro 1 and $48 for hydro nano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tunicate Posted November 18, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted November 18, 2007 A cheaper alternative at Iwarna. Why not give it a try. http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=65108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member souphamster Posted November 22, 2007 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 22, 2007 I bought 2 sets when i was in hk last march. Using well.. quite compact. i think i bought this protein skimmer in guangzhou about $8.. very cheap.. i saw this skimmer in HK, the fish street, selling about $15.. quite useful.
