Wavysea

[Miguelito]

Anyone see these? I know one guy using them. Says its very quiet. I spoke with who might be the owner and he says they'll back up the product. I ordered two, in black to play with.

In their gallery there are quite a few photos. You can use it as a sump return, on a CL, attach a powerhead right on it (Tunze, maybe ), there is even a picture of a submerged powerhead inside the tank, with the water feeding the unit.

The guy I know who has one says the materials are very good, and the controller is excellent. He has good taste.

I'm going to play with maximum flow.

I think if the quality and durability is there, these things are WAY worth it.

Vince you know the owner? Can you ask him if he can make them for Tunze Streams? I'll definitely buy some if that is the case

I'll try to swing by the place the retails 'em in the US. Fishsupply.com. They are a block from the airport wholesalers. Definitely a Korean outfit.

Much appreciated Chuck.

I'm just reading the manual and they come with an adapter for maxi jet powerheads, I'm sure I can attach a Tunze to it instead but I'd like to know if they are long and sturdy enough for a Tunze Stream 6200. Less than 5" deep and it will be sucking air.

I talked to the Korean guy here, the number on the website. I believe he works for Wavysea, not a retailer. The only guy I know who owns one is Bluestag on RC, there is a thread on it (search wavysea). He has some input on the quality, and how he's used it so far. I bought them based on his recommendation. I believe the thread is called "New Toy".

A Tunze attachment would probably be an easy DIY project. The weight is negligable submerged, so it would really be up to you to secure it. I think torque might be the main concern so you'd want a short shaft - and that might create that annoying air swirl you get if the Tunze is too close to the top. I'm planning on running one as a sump return, and using the other like the first pic above - but splitting the return with a locline Y. I'm hoping that I can put 1,200-1,500 GPH so I'll have two lines sweeping ~650GPH each.

zip tie the mount to some pvc and mount that pvc to the wavysea....

Yes that's exactly my concern, attachment would be a piece of cake, but can it be submerged low enough to avoid the bubble swirl without the 6200 pushing the wavy sea all over the place....

I would like to try one on my tunze 6100's... Def keep us informed after recieving them...

I second that.. I have had 4.. NONE of them still work.

Tried asking them about attaching Tunzes in email.

The guy was very friendly and answered all my emails promptly but it was a little difficult to communicate, I don't think he is familiar with the Tunze Streams...

I had an old 3/4" Sea Swirl lying around and mounted a Tunze 6200 to that. It was really easy actually because it takes a standard PVC fitting. I just stitched a piece of the tunze holder bracket to a piece of PVC pipe with zip ties and connected it to the Sea Swirl.

An oscillating Stream 6200 is pretty cool, it's definitely kicking up some extra detritus, although I bet the Sea Swirl will break apart in a matter of days

would be very interested also if the tunzes could be hooked up to them I could cut down to 2 6100's instead of 4
