Wave maker or more pumps? w/ pic

[acrylic51]

The only thing I don't trust them on acrylic tank after I seen that thread the damage it did, and the smaller units can't handle thicker custom builds.

I'd love to see the new MP60 in action.
LOL...$645

AND is that just for the PH.....then do you still have to buy all the other stuff to run it?????

The wireless setup is totally separate. But with 2 you cam slave them together sorta like what you can do with the Tunzes and create a wave basically.

What is the wireless set up?
Can these PH's just be plugged into an outlet?
I know they run off of wavemakers too....what do you know about them?

 

[acrylic51]

Honestly when you look at the initial cost you choke, but honestly nothing out there truly compares to the features and flow capabilities of PH's like the Tunze an Vortech's.

I'm looking to get an MP40 for my 120 as well.
someday when I sell my acrylic tank I'm going to use that money to get one.
whats the point of the wireless?

Thanks for all the great info

The price includes the basics that you would need to run the machine.
The wireless is really only necessary if you have more than one and want them to speak to one another without a ton if wires hanging around. The unit is still powered from outside the tank, so no wires are in it.
It can create a wave without two powerheads, it is a setting called Reef Wave.
My MP40w is on 3/4" thick glass, no issues.
I have seen the MP60, back in October. It is just a more powerful version of the MP40 from what I could see.

Their tech support told me I'd be pushing it with 3/4" and 1" no way. I can see 1 generating a wave on meowzer's tank, but 1 on the width of mine 48" wide no way!!!!!

LOL...Now I have to go measure my glass....I thought it was 1/2"

They are sweet pumps. Your glass should be 1/2" on your tank Meowzer.
BTLDreef, so no issues with radio or frequency issue on the wireless drivers?

None and my wireless router isn't that far away, I really thought that was going to be an issue.
