best wavemaker/ph setup

what wavemaker/ph setups do you run? I recently bought a red sea wavemaster pro to hook up to two nanostreams 6025's and come to find out, my expensive tunze ph's cant be used on a wavemaker! what a scam. so now i need "good" ph's because my coral/nem love the flow of the wavemaker. any suggestions?

2 6025's in a nano tank should provide plenty of turbulence without need for a wavemaker.

yeah i have 2 koralias and i have no need for a wave maker...the fish swimming and blocking the flows create plenty of random flow..plus they are aimed in crossing pattern...to help create more turbulent water..

but as for your question...i have no idea what would be your best bet short of getting a 7095 ( i think that is the tunze controler that will work with them..)

I was looking into Tunze stuff briefly. I think the 6025 and 6045 will not work on any of the Tunze controllers or any wavemaker. I think you have to get a $200 nanostream 6055 just to work on their $50 controller. What a bummer!

tests as of 1/04/08
Ca>480ppm, I'm bringing it down
dKH=9, ok
PO4=0ppm, ideal

1/06/08 after a water change
Ca= 480ppm, still a little high
pH= 8.2, I'd like it at 8.3
NO3= 10ppm, acceptable
