Quick Review of the Sunsun wavemaker

[Savant]

I bought a Sunsun wavemaker circulation pump from C328 recently for my 3ft Zebra tank.... As wavemaker circulation pumps are not commonly used in freshwater aquariums locally, I decided to do a quick review...

The Sunsun wavemaker is a neat little package that is not too much larger than a tennis ball... It comes in flowrate sizes of 3000 to 6000l/hr... I believe I bought the 5000l/hr version...

It looks pretty much like the hydor/tunze wavemaker pumps and come with a niffy magnetic attachment device... The entire structure seems solid enough, although I have not had the chance to compare it with other brands...

The grill covering the water inlet seems a little too wide and that led me to worry that my shrimps and fish fries will get drawn in....

The pump output at 5000l/hr is way too high for my 3ft... and/or my 4ft... Regret not getting the 3000l/hr model...

Overall I feel that this pump is value for money but may be too powerful for even 4ft tanks...

5000L/hr? Tsunami?

I dont turn it on these days... '

Go for the lower rated version if you need one...

I just purchased a Hydor Koralia 2 (2300l/hr)....

Hopefully this will be just right this time round... Will try do a seperate review later...
