Surge Device
Hello,
Wondering how many have one of these, or use an electronic wave maker. Titus

I am a fan of dump surges (Borneman style or Carlson style). That said I don't have any on my tanks right now but I'd like to put one or two on again one day (I did once try a Borneman surge, but couldn't get it tuned quite right so I gave up on it, I will probably try again some day though).
In the meantime I use a wavemaker on the powerheads.

I would love to have a surge tank but the drawback is that they are quite a space consuming device. Right now I don't even have a wave maker but its coming in the near future.

I currently use a Tunze Stream with controler (dialed waaaay back, because of the size of my tank) in conjuction with a Red Sea wavemaker pro. to control various power heads.
When I upgrade to a larger tank, I'll likely dump the Rea Sea and go with a seaswirl or other. I've alway been interested in a Carlson type device and may experiment with one in the future (I've already got some plastice toilet parts to play with).
