This is an expensive piece of equipment, and part of the appeal of the Red Sea brand is to avoid these sort of issues.
I won't sugar-coat it, the connection issues with wireless are a large con. This is not to mention the headache when I turned off all my equipment to do a water change, and then spent a half hour trying to get the ReefWave to reconnect to the wireless after I turned it back on. Even once I had the ReefWave connected to my office's wireless, it can take upwards of 2 or 3 minutes for any changes to the programming to go from the app into the powerhead, with upwards of a 50% failure rate of submitting changes. The prompts inside the app are not completely accurate, and I had to go digging online to get clarification. Trying to set up and connect the ReefWave 45 to ReefBeats was an exercise in frustration, which is a shame, given how flawlessly the rest of the setup process was. The water is pushed out in a sheet, and creates a significant amount of surface turnover, a key to gas exchange in the reef tank. Not only does the ReefWave 45 gyre design push out a higher volume of water, it is also designed to be placed at the top of the tank, near the surface. Rather than putting out a narrow jet of water with a peusdo-random pattern, this powerhead shape instead goes for a large sheet of water, increasing the surface area and, to some extent, the volume of water that can be pushed through the tank without damaging coral flesh. Traditional powerheads use a variety of methods to try to simulate the randomness of ocean water flow, including cutting on and off, increasing and decreasing intensity, and placing multiple powerheads in different parts of the tank and at different angles to try to get better water movement coverage.Įnter the Gyre. Flow helps to bring nutrients to corals, and to clear away waste and detritus. Proper flow is one of the most important aspects of maintaining proper coral health. What is a Gyre Powerhead and Why Should I Buy One?
