    Are any of you guys using the wavemaker functions on it? If so, what kind of powerheads are you using, since from my understanding Koralia's cant be used with one.
    Bigger the better, it's for a 200 gallon long.

    I just purchased a AquaSurf today for my ACIII Pro and will have it on a Tunze 6000. Are you wanting to know the code for it or what type of PH to use???

    What type of powerhead. I actually don't have any of the equipment yet, just in the planning stages of my big tank. I've always liked Koralia's but I know they shouldn't be used with any type of wavemaker. Just looking for suggestions

    Any Tunze that can be controlled with a 7095 will work with the AquaSurf.

    Now, do you have to use the aquasurf or does the ACIII work on its own as a wavemaker?

    Hi Otty
    one of the banners on top of this site "Hydor" shows some 12V Koralias and a wave maker next to it , So I assume they must be compatible?

    The ACIII can osculate it on and off but the AquaSurf can make a pump speed up and slow down instead of just on and off.

    Don't think the AquaSurf can control it though, as it is made for Tunze.

    No, they work only with the Koralia controllers, and they can only control up to 4 powerheads. If I went with powerheads, I dont think that even 4 of the Koralia 4's would cut it. Plus the expense, they are asking a fortune for that system, specially considering what it is.

    I am actually pondering doing some sort of closed loop with an Ocean Motion 4.
    But thanks guys.
