hygger Aquarium Wave Maker 1321 GPH 12W, Adjustable Cross Flow Pump with LED Display Controller, Magnetic DC 24V Aquarium Powerhead for Freshwater and Marine Reef Aquariums Up to 60 Gallon

Great gyre. I had a maxspec in my 120 and needed one for my small tank. This gyre works great just too much flow for my situation. Tank is smaller than 60gal so if you want one for half that it just doesn't adjust enough to slow lower than 396gph.

This this is powerful, gives my tank that ocean like quality when it comes to the flow in the tank. Super simple to set up and its pretty affordable. I enjoy it in my 55 gallon saltwater aquarium and it keeps my corals happy and healthy in regards to tank flow!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY This wave maker is trash. Believe me, I understand how this “could” be the perfect wave maker for your reef tank. This is not it. I’ve ordered two of these (one was a replacement) both have the same error code Er04. Both have this same code after minutes of use - straight out of the box. If you’re in the reef hobby - you understand you have to DIY some things. I’m a handy person - this hobby forces you to be. I’ve taken the pump apart many times and the error remains. As this happened twice in a row, I beg you all not to buy this plastic trash. I hardly write reviews, I was compelled to write this one. Hygger makes great heaters but I will never purchase a pump from them again and neither should you.

We use this in our 100 gallon saltwater aquarium and it works great. I love the option to change the wave patterns. It's easy to clean and set up. It has run nonstop for a year with no issues. The only negative is that you can hear a slight noise coming from it- like a whistling noise. But it is very faint and I can only hear it when nothing else is running in my house. I changed some of the settings and I don't hear it anymore. So if you run into that problem just change the settings and I think that will take care of it.

I bought two of these for my 100 gallon reef tank. They both work perfectly, however one of the controllers screens doesn’t light up at all and the text is very dim, This doesn’t really affect its performance at all but it is somewhat frustrating to need to pull out a flashlight under the stand to change settings or look for the ‘feed’ button every day to feed the fish. I wish they sold just the replacement controller with screen. I don’t plan on replacing it as it still works great though.

After less than a month of using this wave maker, it became very noisy. It was making a loud hum that I can hear down the hall. Very annoying. Update: After leaving my initial noisy review, Hygger support reached out with instructions on how to disassemble and clean the wave maker. After disassembly, which was pretty easy, I found my fish had gotten some small rocks stuck in the mechanism that was causing the noise. Once cleaned, the noise disappeared. Updating review to five stars because pump is great when periodically cleaned and support was responsive too.

“The hygger adjustable cross flow wave maker works great and provides strong, consistent water movement throughout the aquarium. It’s easy to adjust the flow to suit different tank needs, and it helps keep debris from settling. Runs quietly and has made a noticeable improvement in overall water circulation.”

Makes a lot of noise like it is struggling to work correctly. Was not as powerful as I wanted it to be. Would not recommend for a 220 gallon tank.

I got this wavemaker due to having a large tank and needed more control of speed, and when I get it under 100 pounds, I've never looked at another wavemaker since. Most of the time I have it on the speed between lowest of 30 to 70 but don't use the 100 unless I am cleaning left over food or waste getting caught by obstacles in the tank.

I purchased this wavemaker for my 90 gal tropheus tank . The wavemaker arrived on time and in good quality. Have had it set up and running now for 2 months . This unit works great ,easy set up with several control modes. With proper settings the unit keeps the tank substrate clear on debris . Also keeps the tropheus occupied and reduces aggressions . Lots of water flow, quiet operation, no suction cups to fail ,and hides well in the tank .

Needed to buy a power adapter for Australian use which is not mentioned in the listing and cost an extra $19.00. Have not been able to use it yet.

Seems good so far. I have it set to sinewave and at 80% on my 650lt reef . I should have thought and as a warning to others that are in the UK the power brick is the 2 prong us so you will of course need a convertor to make it work. Its obvious really but I didn't give it a thought so have one ready if you are in the UK. Also I was a bit concerned as it threw up a blocked propeller within half an hour of operation. Hasn't happened again though in the last few hours so I do hope its going to be reliable.

I do not recommend it. The writing on the controller is not lit up. You can hardly see the mode button etc. couldn’t even read it with a magnifying glass.
