You got the new style Hyggers! They did away with the annoying pegs and offset holes on the base. And i like the small amount of tilt you get now. I may have to pick up a couple new ones.
Hi, which wave maker is the most effective for mixing nutrition? I'm asking because it's crucial to find the best way to blend fertilizer into water without increasing the pH value.
Been doing fish for 30+ years. Question? My Blood Parrot fish, they're huge, 4 years old, I have 4 in a 75 gallon. But my biggest, blood parrot, Biff? He keeps throwing rocks in it. 🤦 Like some, "Finding Nemo" type attitude. I moved his home away from the pumps. He'll still go across the tank and keeps dropping rocks in it. Makes him mad. I think? Does this to the filter pump too. I'm considering taking him into my buddies fish store. But? I love him. He's my favourite. But a huge pain in the highnee. Doubles my maintenance time. I hope you have a solution of sorts for me. I really am at my witts end. Help! Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
I have a 90 gallon tank which one should I go with for each brand? Thanks. and why does nero call theirs a powerhead is there a difference? I see on amazon the 2600 is more money than the 3400 for hygger, wonder why that is since the 3400 is rated for tanks 75-200 and the 2600 is only up to 50.
@@leftandrightarewrong3957 I had a Jebao pump years ago. But I haven't tried any of their recent pumps. I like the build quality of the Hygger controller. Jebao SLW-20 looks pretty good as well. and it looks similar to the Nero's. Here is a Amazon link to it. amzn.to/3R9EqZu. (paid link)
Someone on another channel says this hygger would need more flow for a 75 gallon reef tank....I'm looking into a wave maker for my 75 gallon soft and LPS reef also ...but there is a stronger wave maker from hygger ...I don't know if it's to much flow though for a 75 gallon ....I hear its pretty strong though ..to strong..not sure though yet...I ordered it and should be getting it today...I can let u know ..
Hi can I ask a question I have a 30 gallon square tank. I will be adding corals, which wave maker would you recommend and would 1 be enough for my tank.
The Hygger is definitely the more affordable, and the one in the video is recommended 26g-55g so it would push plenty for 30g tank. There is a smaller Hygger thats recommended up to 25g. One may work, What are the tank dimensions?
I have 4 Hyggers and LOVE them. Super quiet and easy to use and see the operation right in the controller. I went with these for the lower price and a recommendation. I have two in my tank and always keep two clean and ready. Easy to just switch them out as I pull to clean them. Never had any problems. They come apart easy also to clean.
@@BH0t8498what size tank do you have ? I ordered 2 of the ( Model HG 042) for a 75 gallon reef soft and LPS coral tank....I'm wondering if it's gonna be way to much flow as it claims it's for a 75-200 gallon tank...I have them coming today ..
I have my HYGGERS in a smaller 32 biocube. I use 2 and have two extras that I always keep clean and just swap them out. They are simple to unplug and replug once a month with little downtime. I have both the 2600 & 1600. You can adjust the intensity on both through the programming codes. If it’s the same programming you should be able to adjust them. I like that I can TURN UP the flow during a cleaning to stir up everything and then return to my basic settings afterwards. The wave makers are small enough you could use in a sump to stir up if needed as well@@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813
Thanks for taking the time to make this video !! Very insightful!
You're welcome! Thank you so much for watching I'm glad it was helpful.
I'm loving hygger products lately.
Right they are pretty good!
Great review! On the hunt for new wavemakers.
On the fence for either a Mp40/ Nero7s - will look into the Hygger. Thanks!

Yes and the size is great too, definitely check them out for sure! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks so much for such a detailed review 👌 that was a huge help

I did read reviews on the Nero at bulk. seems to be short lifespan on those.
Ive been using the Nero3s for 3 years running now.
A separate topic - rock cement. Have you tried Marco vs. AquaForest vs. STIX?
Great topic, this one I have not tried yet.

great review. thank man!
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video glad it was helpful.
Nero5 is hands down the better pump.
I have no idea how to put mine together,I bought for 400 litre,no instructions,no controller,just a base and double water pump ,nothing more
I can’t seem to find the video showing how to set up the Hygger wave maker
Here is the link to the Hygger video. th-cam.com/video/oOR6DOuI4bM/w-d-xo.html
@@TheCoralReefTalk thank you sir.
@@jamesbroderick3660 you're welcome
Dang this should of been the hyger ECO sine wave 3400GPH VS nero 5
Hygger of Jebao? My NERO 5 failed after
I really enjoy the Hygger. My Nero 3 went out on me I need to see how to get that replaced or I may just get another Hygger back there.
Thanks. Have you tried Jebao?

Noted, thanks. I have AI lights so I like the all-in-one smart phone controls. But, I don't like the AI price if the useful life is
I have a 75G softie tank. Is one enough?

What would you recommend for a 16b gallon BNioCube?
Take a look at the smaller Hygger Wavemaker it's more affordable and will work great. Follow the link in the description.
Get the 1600 hygger wave. You can adjust the intensity also. I like that it also has a PULSE you can program. So not to overwhelm the cube
The Nero is also dead simple to take apart to clean!
Yes 100% agree. It's very easy to clean!
Jebao SLW is closer to Nero
Both can destroy your coral and kill your fish though.
So can any other powerhead
