Comments: Great product! I've only had it running for about four days now, and my corals are a lot happier. Before I bought the ocean pulse duo, my chili coral would only extend it's polyps when the lights were off, now its open all through the day as well. Definately reccomend it! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I find my self adjusting it every couple of days because it gets stuck with all 4 pumps on. Bring it down to constant the to 10 seconds and when on one pump turns of I set it back to my desired time, in my case 5 min. seems to fix the isssue. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Wha Wha What by DMD

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/21/2009 from LOS ANGELES, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: It does what it is designed to do. One of my powerheads comes on seamlessly but the other rattles before coming on. So not sure whether to blame the wavemaker or the pump. Controls are great, simple and click into place. Only problem is with the one pump, if I take it apart and get it silent like the other than no problems at all with the wavemaker. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

I LOVE IT !!! by KEVIN FITZPATRICK

Posted on 2/19/2009 from KOKOMO, IN UNITED STATES

Comments: I WAS ALREADY RUNNING 4 POWER HEADS OF DIFFERENT TYPES IN MY 55. WITH ALL RUNNING ALL THE TIME THERE WAS ALOT OF CURRENT GOING BUT IN THE SAME SWIRILING FLOW. THE QUADRA BROKE THE FLOW UP SO NOT AS MUCH CURRENT BUT COMING FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. MY CORALS LEANING IN ONE DIRECTION ALL THE TIME ARE NOW MOVING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS WHICH LOOKS MORE LIKE THE REEF FLOOR. I AM ALSO GOING TO BUY THE DUO FOR ANOTHER TANK. I DO REALLY LIKE THIS PRODUCT. AND I DO RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WITH ALOT OF FLOW IN THEIR TANK. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Definately a must for reefers by Robert J.

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/10/2009 from California

Comments: I purchased this for 2 koralias and they worked ok, they definately do their job of alternating currents. I would recommend this more for maxi-jets for quiet operation, which is what I have done, If you dont mind the first 2 seconds of clacking of koralia powerheads then this is perfect for them. I am upgrading to seio 620 or 820's pretty soon, they should work the same as the maxi-jet do to the solid design. Great wavemaker for the price, budget reefers will be glad they picked this up!!!! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good Bang For The Buck by bbvt

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/13/2008 from GRANITE FALLS, WA UNITED STATE

Comments: After losing power, both outlets are constant rather than alternating. Other than that,the product is reliable and well built. Overall, I have been extremely pleased with the performance when mated up to two maxijet 1200's. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Works great. by Dan H

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 12/8/2008 from JAMAICA PLAIN, MA UNITED STATE

Comments: Works straight out of the box. Very simple to use. I have two of the 2 pump capacity units so that I have 4 pumps running during the day (two set to 4 minutes and two set to 30 seconds) and only two at night (4 minutes). While I have only had them a week or so, they seem to do exactly what they are meant to do. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

JBJ w/ Koralia 3's by BRAD

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 4/29/2008 from POWAY, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I bought this wavemaker because I was reading other reviews of how well it works with the Koralia pumps. I have 2 Koralia 3's and I was not happy with they worked together. The pumps came on so suddent that they "chattered" for a second. It becomes very annoying. Your better off forking out the money for a gradual power wavemaker. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Great but not perfect by HelifaxNZ

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/4/2008 from NEW ZEALAND

Comments: This is a great product well made and the dial gives you a positive selection as you move it around. the dial movement is very smooth. It works well with my Hydor Nano powerheads without any problems. There is one thing which I found disappointing with this unit and that is if you have a power cut or you power off this unit and back on, it automatically switches BOTH powerheads on until you move the dial back to zero then to the delay you want, so you are not able to put this unit on a timer. If this doesn't bother you, then JBJ Ocean Pulse is a great unit. P.S. it doesn't have a feeding delay :o( Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

works as it should by satisfiedguy

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 4/2/2008

Comments: It's very simple and does what it should. Great water randomizing device if you're on a budget. I run 2 maxijet 1200's on each output (using a power splitter). Recommended for small tanks since the only pumps you can really use are maxijets. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good product for the cost by MICHAEL L BEVINS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/26/2008 from GRAND HAVEN, MI UNITED STATES

Comments: I recently added the Quadra wave maker (4 pump capacity) to my 180 gal. reef tank. The wave maker works reasonably well, especially for the cost. It is difficult to synchronize the timers if you want to have 2 pumps working at the same time, but it is possible. Anytime the power goes out (either by turning it of or a failure) the settings must be reset, which means the process of getting the pumps in sync must be repeated. There is no large volume of water movement as with a true wave, rather this unit only creates alternating lineal water flow, so the full effect of a wave is not created. Don't get me wrong, the water movement is adequate, but definitely not what the wave "box" units provide, such as the Tunze Wave Box (cost around $575). Since the cost of this unit is less than 1/5 of a box unit, it is affordable for all. Some power heads don't work well (with the constant on/off) and a list of those that do would be helpful. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: The Ocean Pulse is the best. It keeps everything simple and prevents my tank from having any dead spots. The fish and corals that I have seem to be doing alot better now that there is a constant variation of water flow in the tank. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Buggy by SL

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/9/2008 from DECATUR, GA UNITED STATES

Comments: This has good features for the price, but it has bugs that I've confirmed with a couple of other people. (1) The printed timing isn't exact- not a big deal but you have to adjust it by trial and error, and (2) When the thing is turned on- such as after you switch the power off for maintenance or after brief power outage- both outlets are turned on at the same time by default. You need to move the dial around to make it work like a wavemaker again. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

JBJ Ocean Pulse Duo by TJ MUELLER

Posted on 1/8/2008 from LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA UNITED STA

Comments: The JBJ Ocean Pulse Duo Wavemaker is easy to set up and works well. The time is easy to change and is accurate. It would be nice to be able to time each pump independently (a different amount of time on each pump). Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Not able to turn it off by TED-10 year reef

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/29/2007 from So Cal

Comments: Great product except for one minor detail. I was hoping to hook this to a timer so that at night I could give the wave maker a rest from midnight to 6am. Unfortunately, if you ever stop power to the device, when it turns back on, it automatically turns both pumps on and keep running both of them instead of alternating them. Nice only if you never have a power outage and never want to give your reef a rest. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Wave maker dissapointing by JASON LOMBERK

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/15/2007 from ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ UNITED

Comments: A major flaw with this unit: Every time there is a power outage or the aquarium is shut off for maintenance you MUST reset the unit manually or it then leaves both pumps on continuously when power comes back on. Since power blips are commonplace with today's utility companies, you have to check this thing regularly to see if it has to be reset. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
