I have two on my 70 gal tank. I love the amount of water it moves. The only
down side is that it can be a bit loud. If you are ever up in Logan you are welcome to see my tank. ------------- Logan, UT |

I think the best way would be to buy the one Connie is selling! Good price, no hassle.  -------------  |

The plunger moves up and down on an internal screw. A motor hangs on
the back end of the tank and hooks up to the wave2k via a pully system. The pully that is hooked up to the motor drives the plunger up and down. I hope that was not too confusing ------------- Logan, UT |

I have a different opinion of the W2K. There are less expensive, less bulky and less complicated ways to get the same results.
