    Hi ya'll

    I want a simple wave maker that has a pulse controller to get better flow off my hydor koralia, I first thought about a SmartWave but then realized i didn't need all the features it has, So i then decided to go with the JBJ Pulser but found a cheaper choice, The MarineLand NW1000 Natural Wave Pump Timer.

    Anyone had experience with this product? do you advise me to get it?

    I will only have one koralia nano pump in it.. nothing fancy

    Why not get this, It comes with 2 500 GPH powerheads AND the wavemaker conroller

    JBJ Lighting OS-101K JBJ Oceanstream Circulation Pump/Powerhead + Duo Wavemaker Kit 500 GPH

    They also have this one that uses 2 1600GPH pumps and the wavemaker for not much more

    If I wasnt going to be using a reef keeper that has wavemaker functions built in this was my 1'st choice BY FAR

    That's a great deal but it's WAY too much flow for my need, even one 500GPH is going to blow everything in a 5 gallon.

    I have a koralia nano 240GPH and it's about enough with an added tiny pump for more surface movement, Hopefully with the pulse timer i won't need an additional pump.
