    Never heard of them. They are 220 volt 50HZ. Will not work in the US.

    Tunze and Wave2K are the only ones avail in US that I know of.

    Yeah, many people don't pay attention to what they are buying on e-bay ;) I once sold just the packaging to an x-box 360 for $150. And that is just sales for the seller, not the item in particular.
    As stated, these will not work in the US.

    HAHAHA good call! well then the question will be changed then....... Would power heads connected to wavemakers be more suitable for a 90 gal or just a wavemaker device be better?

    The both have their benefits. Either would work fine, as long as you size it to your tank.

    How long is your tank?

    was thinking of 3 different kinds. 3-4 maxi-jets with the quad palse, ecotech mp40, or tunze nano wave box

    I like the idea, but the video looks so unrealistic compared to how real reefs surge that it is laughable.

    The only thing that wave box replicates is the fish in their buckets on the boat ride back to the shore to get shipped.
