There are a number of wavemaker's available. One is a RedSea wavemaster pro, and I can't remember the other names. They are basicly timers that turn off and on in random patterns with some user choices for patterns. There is a diy thread on how to alter a regular timer to be a wavemaker over in the diy forum.

I had those hydors and I hated them. Someone local on the board bought them and I didn't see him put them on the market so he must like them. I had them on mj1200's and it stopped every single day with the blast aimed right at something I didn't want it to. Even while turning it was like taking your thumb to the end of a hose. That's the problem with mj's already is that it is too concentrated and those make it worse. I would have lived with it but the stopping stunk! I've never heard anyone else complain of that so maybe there was a little burr or something on mine that needed to get slimed over or ?? They are cheap though.
That's when I went for the seio's and I'm going to use a scwd on my main return. There are alot more expensive options out there than the way I'm going with it. I saw a thread talking about wavemaking and alot of the big experts on here disagreed that you should do that. I'm sure other experts think you should though. Makes your head spin.  Refuges do well with waves to keep the cheato tumbling if you set them up right.
