Asked this on the FB but no reply, where is the power side of these pumps? Inside the tank?

To bad they are like that, I would have ordered several. I hate power cords in my tank.

Well than you will have to pay 400-600 for your powerheads. But I guess you get a few extra with that too.

I guess it depends on your preference and tank location set-up. In my case, I have traffic on both sides of my tank, where an outside pump could get bumped if it sticks out too far. Plus it would be a target for kids to grab incl the cords. The inside cords blend in pretty good with the tank, and even have coralline on them. And they don't make any noise.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Looks like you need to rebuild a new tank and design wave boxes in it lol just like mine you dont see any equipment in the main display lol

I think i'm going to get a couple waveboxes and try them out I'll do a review after
was actually hoping the wp10 had suctions but they switched to magnets
we have no room around our tanks for any magnets except on the front which obstructs the view.
