Hi Reeftoker,
I to
decided to try these units out and they are good units, sorry to say that they are a KO of Tunze and even worse that the pumps do work on a tunze controller 7095 and pump.
The price isn’t a big enough difference for a KO but still a good savings when buying 2 units. Tunze and there support that is stellar will probably be the 1st choice for many hobbyists. The Xwaves do perform so far, and it’s been several months. Customer Support is taken care by Pacific Coast in the USA so that shouldn’t be a problem.
There are more and more KO products that come out of China many are not as good as the original that they may have copied.Example the Aqua Excel skimmers "good price” and may LOOK like a Bubble King or H&S/Euro Reef/Deltec, but are definitely not at all the same by no means,the price will draw in the hobbyist that can not afford to pay the price for a Bubble King or H&S/Euro Reef/Deltec.
But I have to say that these Xwave units are preety good pumps and that is probably why there is not a big price difference.
Here is a pic of my tank with the Xwaves being used in the thread below.
