Just got my 2 new wave maker, Jebeo WO 40. The fishes seem to love it. The Gorgonian just seem kind blown. I reduced the flow though to have a descent moderate flow. This works perfectly on my 75gal tank. Im setting the tank up to be a mixed reef tank.

Good at making waves but my Jebao powerheads have been less than reliable.

Yeah, what was the problem, maybe I can find a way to overcome it.

Well hopefully it isn't a problem for you. I may have just had bad luck. For me its more economical to get a more reliable pump than buying a new one every few years.

My friend's had his for more than 5yrs, and most review I saw on it was quite good, so fingers crossed I'll see how mine turns out. I might get one more later when the corals starts trooping in but that'll depend on the needs of the animals

How are they for noise? I have the Max Spect 200 series and just at 50% the humming noise drives me crazy.

They are almost totally silent,they do have this silent humming sound. With the both of mine working almost simultaneously, they kinda have this faint sound like a Christmas tree jingle coming from across the street. You can barely hear it unless u listen very closely and even when u do hear it it's more soothing than bothersome.

I'm fine with a little noise.
I'm getting ready to swap my 55gal to a 125 so I'm going to need to turn up my gyre's higher than they are now. Then they will be too loud

Currently running six of them. I have had a few over the years and they are inconsistent in the noise the produce from model to model. When they start to sound bad I let them sit in a bowl of vinegar over nite. I also prefer W 2 with the dial turned all the way on the slow speed.

One guys experience was to not run any of them at full power. Burned through 3 that way- luckily with in Amazon’s exchange period. Now I run at 80% or less and I think they are more than worth the cost. WOs are smaller than previous models- that’s a plus for me.

Hey since yaw are talking wave makers. I was looking to upgrade mine on my 29gal that’s 36” by 12. Any ideas? I just don’t wanna put to much power on it but not to weak either where I have dead spots.

Then this would make a great choice cos even at i'ts highest, i'ts still silent.

Thanks for the tip. I clean them once a month so I haven't experienced it noisy yet. If I ever do I'll definitely try this tip.

This will be great cos u can get whatever settings u want and it works great. I have mine on sleep mode so its strong in the day and calms down at night and then stays at I
Lowest flow through the night.
