I agree with Nat, I see little value on a reef tank. It seemed like a cool product, thanks for the honest review. Ha, nice charging fish. I agree with Nat, I see little value on a reef tank.

This combined with an LED of MH would bring a nice effect that is not often seen in planted tanks, while the shallow wave would leave the plants undisturbed. As you say, I couldn't see the value on a reef tank. My powerheads alone easily create a more turbulent surface than this device appears to provide judging from the video.
