The Wave2K was developed to give the marine hobbyist, for the first time, total water movement. The circulation created from our machine, as in the ocean, cycles between forward water motion (wave in) and the action of that wave going back out. The Wave 2K forces water out of the top of the machine while pulling a similar volume in the bottom, then it reverses that cycle and forces out of the bottom, while pulling water in the top. This reversing action produces the same chaotic movement as you would see snorkeling in the ocean. Imagine pushing out and pulling in 8.8 gallons during each up and down cycle. Now imagine this taking place every 6 seconds, or ten times a minute, or 600 times per hour! Now imagine actually having a small wave across the top surface of your tank, and the joy of watching those flowing type corals actually moving back and forth just as they do in the wild!
Machine uses surge flow, out while taking water in every 6 seconds, the container holds about 2.3 gallons and cycles 10 times per minute- approx flow 4000 gallons an hour, while running silently and creating random currents and eddies.
Dimensions (L x W x H): 10" x 5.5" x 16.25"
Flow Features: 1 = Corner Unit: Low to medium flow in 55 gallons 2 = Center Unit: High flow to 120, good flow to 180 3 = 2 Corner Units: High flow to 55, medium flow to 90 4 = 2 Center Units: Very high flow

Comments: I bought this about a year ago in order to put it in my 55G tank. The major things that I noticed about it were that it was initially very loud. I worked with the owner in order to remove the belt noise by way of increasing the tension on it.
The belt noise never COMPLETELY went away (even after tightening the belt to the point that I felt it would snap), but I loved the wave action so much I was willing to ignore it. Besides, it was about the volume of my somewhat loud overflow.
The noise that didn't really go away is the CLUNK that occurs whenever the unit reverses direction. I'm sorry to say that despite an excellent wave action, this was what killed the Wave2k for me and caused me to remove it from my tank permanently.
I look forward to seeing version 2 of this (if it's coming), because this is truly a GREAT idea for a wave device and I would love to see how it works out. As it stands though, it just doesn't work for me.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
