I was looking at some wavemakers and was wondering if it is something I should purchase? I have a 125 FO W/LR, would it benefit me to have one?

Wavemakers are great inventions, but you can set up a couple of power heads on simple timers you get at a home store for a lot cheaper. The power heads just plug into the wavemaker anyway, so you can always upgrade later. When setting on-off times on those cheap timers, try to set it so that they are on more than off. I recently bought a new timer that has little switches that will turn on or off as often as every 30 minutes without any removable tabs that you can lose. The wavemaker will do a more random pattern.

be carefull of the kind of pumps/powerheads that you use for this.. rio's and the like are loud and are not made for the routine off and on of a "wavemaker" system. So research your pums..
