allpondsolutionsAquarium Marine Wave Maker Fish Tank Powerhead Circulation Pump 2000L/H - Powerful Clip on Glass Suction Attachment

I had been looking for a wave maker for my 450l, I only wanted a gentle flow for better circulation to aid filtration.Every model seemed to have good and bad reviews and the price ranges are drastic. I took the plunge and purchased the 2500l model and I have to say it is great. It has added just enough flow to my tank and the fish love it.The suction cup seems to be a problem for some but it needs to be fitted correctly, take the base (the wave maker just pushes onto it) and make sure the clip is up, attach to the surface and while pushing press the clip down into place, if the clip closes without mush pressure then it is not on correctly, when fitted correctly the switch is quite solid and takes some effort to press down.Only had this running for a couple of days but it is powerful enough for my needs and is almost silent, only long term running will show if it was a real bargain.

Using for a 400ltr cichlid tank and works perfectly. No plug provided so had to install myself but apart from that, a very good product and great value for money

In the 6 months of tank ownership i've never been happy with the water quality of my tank. My in tank filter does its best but relies on regular maintenance. I've also lost several fish in the period. when I started monitoring water quality i noticed that i had high nitrogen levels so was forever changing water and vacuuming the gravel.Things came to a head after i lost two wonderful fish, i think the kids had overfed them and a lot of uneaten food was evident on the tank bottom.I did a bit of research and decided I needed a wave maker to increase water circulation.i did a bit of umming and ahhing over which model I still unsure if the one I have may be a bit of overkill but it certainly does exactly what i wanted it to do.It sits nicely in the top corner of my tank and created a fantastic current right through. When i installed it the impact was immediate and drastic. a lot of detritus from the bottom of the tank immediately began to circulate, large bits of fish poo were on the move as well as uneaten food.I was initially worried that it would not filter as the flow seemed so strong that it was flowing past the filter inlet.However the effect was to break it up into fine particles, this eventually had to pass into the filter and as a result i have a nice clean tank bottom, crystal clear water and the fish appear to love swimming against the current and joining it at the outlet before being catapulted across the tank.one thing i would advise is to turn the filter off when you add food, the pump will have it whizzing about the tank like a fish version of the crystal dome and you will see waste blown straight into the filter.And i've also seen it sucking rather than blowing after I disassembled to clean, a quick unplug and plug sorted it.Overall its very quiet, and an excellent product.My tank is 160 liters and i bought the WM 2500 model.

I'm using the 5000L/H version in a 4ft marine tank. Overall, I think the powerhead is excellent value for money and performs well, a good compromise between branded wave makers (like Koralia) and cheaper alternatives.Performance:It creates good strong motion in the water and eliminates 'dead spots'. Initially when I added this, the fish was blown away by it because it's created such a strong current! Two weeks in, they've gotten used to it and swim about like normal, my chormies have even started shoaling!Quality and aesthetics:The build quality is solid. It comes with a magnet and suction pad. I prefer to use the magnet, in fact that was the key selling point for me. I found my cheaper power heads kept loosing suction and falling off. The magnet which comes with this is super-strong (one could loose a finger!) and keeps the pump up with having to worry about algae build-up. Using magnets also means it's really easy to move the pump around if you wish.The pump is a bit bulky so may look intrusive in smaller tank - for the 5000LPH version at least. It could also do with being a bit quieter.Value:It's excellent value for money (I paid £29.99). It's an excellent compromise between the more expensive branded wave-makers (costing about twice as much) and super-cheap ones (costing about half). I would happily purchase another - and I just might, to stick on the other end of the tank.

I’ve made some bad decisions in my life.I once went out on the drink, while my Mrs stayed at home and looked after the baby.I once ate some yellow snow, thinking it was a tasty treat and followed it up with a fudge whippy I found on the street.We once decided to order a dwarf to a stag party, who then proceeded to get so drunk, we had to call an ambulance and had to be taken to hospital with the stag, as he’d lost the hand cuff keys.…None of these bad decisions compare to buying this awful wave maker.Picture this…. All fine for the first 30 days of warranty, fish swimming, water moving. Happy man.12 days out of warranty and a grumble starts to be heard from the tank, like if you chucked a bag of washers in the tumble dryer, with a pack of walnuts.Blower now does lot work, unless you want to put up with this noise and I have to constantly put up with my fish complaining to me that “the water is too still”, “why can’t the water be moving”…. Or if I put the blower on “what’s that noise”, “have you been walnut picking again and put your trousers in the wash with your metalwork kit again”I could put up with the blower, but with all the Agro with the fish kicking off it’s too much.If the bristle nose plec doesn’t watch it, he’s gonna be getting a one way ticket to the sewers. Express pass through the toilet bowl!Don’t get me started on the Gourami’s. They’re already in the quarantine tank for winding up the tetras.If you’re mental enough to still be reading this. Don’t buy the pump. It’ll make you’re life hell.
