linbeg Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Sorry, i'm new to reef keeping and was wondering what exactly are these called and where can you get them? Are they wave makers? and is a wave maker pretty much like a power head? Link to comment

Natural71 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I think Sicce makes a powerhead that rotates too. Link to comment
linbeg Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 This?http://www.aquariumguys.com/powersweep3.html yesss!that one. Is it recommended to use it? to add random flows? Link to comment
jeremai Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 they tend to get jammed up and stop sweeping after a while, plus they're HUGE. Link to comment
10001110101 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 yeah those things seem neat as a concept, as a reality, they kinda suck hard. Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just go with a koralia or a Vortech Link to comment

Markushka Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I've used one since I first started sw, and yeah they get jammed up, but I still like em. I just clean em out and they keep sweeping. Link to comment

linbeg Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 this might be kinda late, but i found out what it was! it's a sea whirl! Link to comment
mmcguffi Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 People have a lot of success with the hydor rotating deflector that StevieT posted It does tend to jam after several months of use though Link to comment
pweissma Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 People have a lot of success with the hydor rotating deflector that StevieT posted It does tend to jam after several months of use though Yes. It needs to be cleaned like anything else but it is simple and easy to take apart for cleaning. When it does jam it doesn't block to flow. It just doesn't rotate. Link to comment
