Benny503 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Are there a difference between wave maker and powerhead? Or they both just a one but difference people call it with different name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef-fisher Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 They are different. A 'powerehead' refers to the pump that actually moves the water. The 'wavemaker' is usually a controller of some sort that turns the powereheads on and off, or from low to high frequency. When set up properly, the powerheads will create a wave-like current in the water column. If you do not use a controller, the powerheads simply run at full bore constantly. HTH.
