    For those of you running a Wave2k, do you still run a power head for any reason? I woke up to a sandy tank due to the rubber feet on a power head was not sticking anymore. LR covered in sand, big piles of it in places, cloudy water, heart stopping. I have replaced those things once already and am quite finished with power heads. I have always wanted the wave2k but hubby wanted to save money. Like you can do that! It bites you later and you never see it coming. Can someone please post a video of their tank(with coral) running one, and have sound if any? My mind is made up but I want to hear about your dealings with it. Also, did it blow your sand at first?

    Thanks

    I have 2 Wave 2Ks now in my 200g. No power heads needed. Adjustment took a while but they are doing great!

    You can contact the owner of wave2k to get a free piece/bafffle to aid in the reduction of sand being sucked up in the unit!
    I have the unit and am trying to sell it if anyone is interested!?

    I am curious why you are selling the wave2k. Did it not work well for you?

    Aye. It does take up space.


    Thanks post it in a new thread. People always like to see the wave2k in action. In fact, when you do I will repost some vids I uploaded to the site a long time ago from an old member too.
