Quiet with Great Flow

I was skeptical at first. When I first plugged it in after being placed in my reef tank it was quite loud. I gave it a day or two and in fact it calmed down enough that I couldn't even hear it. Many *adjustable* streams and a lot of variability. Will definitely order again. Wave generator at the right price. I would not recommend putting this in a tank under 10 gallons as even on the lowest steady setting this is way too much. As with any pump, maintenance is key to longevity. It's been a fewโ€ฆ

Great for money; buy 2 for my 24 " low profile (10 gallon) reef tank

This thing has been working fine for 7-8 months now. I couldn't ask for more in terms of price/reliability during my ownership time. I have a shallow 24" long reef tank. If I get the swing too perfect it will create ridiculous 3-4" waves knocking water out of my aquarium! I obviously typed it a little less efficiently to prevent this .Strength seems to decrease after about 12" but enough to hold water. Disengaged after a full 24". I'm thinking of adding a second one on the other side for extraโ€ฆ

Works perfectly. for a month; This is nonsense.

I ordered this product and was very pleased with the range of options including flow rates and flow types. However, we noticed that the pump restarted completely after a power failure. Not everything is so surprising; I was out of town at the time, but that's why my fish died. Then, about a week later, we looked at the aquarium and regularly saw that the pump stopped working. After disconnecting and reconnecting it works fine, but only for a few hours and at increasingly frequent intervals. The

Handy Form Factor - Fish and Aquatic Animals

Handy Form Factor purchased for use in Fluval Evo 13.5. It worked right out of the box, but the flow is still too strong to use at less than 20g. I've heard of others using it successfully, but I tried pointing it in any direction and it still moved the sand and blew my corals off on the lowest on/off settings. The Else mode, which is her advantage, was out of the question. The problem is that it works with a standard 12V adapter, so you can't halve the power like you can with the RW-4 seriesโ€ฆ

  • -

Not a bad pump but short lived as many say. If you spend some time reading the reef farm forums, you will see a common complaint about jebao pumps. They work well for 3-6 months and then lose performance no matter how many times you clean them. That's exactly what I experienced with SW2. Weekly cleaning with vinegar and a toothbrush is no longer enough. I have to unplug the device and plug it back in and it runs at 90% of its original speed for a few hours and then slows back down to 50%. Saveโ€ฆ

Used in the Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon reef tank

So far this wave generator has worked great even though I've only been using it for a little over a week. It is MUCH more powerful than the Hydor Koralia wave generator I used. use and control. The only reason I didn't purchase this shaft generator over the Hydor was the negative reviews, but I recently purchased a larger 60 gallon cube that came with two used jebaos that worked perfectly. I was never happy with the release of Hydor so I "updated". I like the feed mode, which cuts power for 10โ€ฆ

Nice little pump with a few flaws but great price

I am very happy with these pumps. When I upgraded to the BioCube 32 (up from 29) and decided to add some basic coral, I knew I was going to need more flow than the return pump (upgraded to Cobalt MJ900) and the Hydor Koralia Nano 240 I had the 29 and tended to add Coralia in the next size up. My two main concerns were the slightly large size of the Koralia and the faint but clearly audible clicking sound they made on startup (which would be annoying if it was set to toggle on and off). I saw aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • I have nothing wrong with it everything is fine
