Looked at them, but found it's much easier (and cheaper) to just get an oversized return pump and then use a SCWD inline instead, then you create waves off your return lines, not via more pumps in your tank.

SCWDs:

I took it one step further and put rotating heads on each return line as well, so that I have left-right wave AND rotating flow out of each head... 


After I did this I was able to remove all powerheads from my system, and all my corals got pretty thick pretty fast, so I'm a big believer in water rotation :-)
