    has anyone had any experience with wavemakers or rotating powerheads? We are setting up a new 92 corner and I was just wondering?
    thanks

    If you have $$$ then I would look into vortech pumps. They can be used as wave makers.

    I would use multiple circulation pumps and connect them to a wave timer or controller like a Hydor's smartwave powerhead controller
