I got one of these running...Pretty sweet.
I like the SCWD wave maker. All mechanical.

Just don't use the mag drive like he shows. That's what I did and
it's kinda still leaking around where the impeller is.
Get a pump that's better made for external use.
The SCWD will work with flow rates up to 1400 gph.
I got approx 900gph going though mine no problem.
Coralife looks like they make some nice mag pumps.

Hi Group: I have a question I would like to put 4 powerheads, 2 on each
end of my tank, and use a wavemaker to turn the power heads on and off.
My local LFS said that the Rios that he sells don't do good in that
application. They stick upon starting back up. Anybody have any good
luck with that type of application.
Thanks in advance. Bill
