Anyone using one? Thoughts?

Im down to one Neptune Wav pump (started with 3) and just recently realized that they had already been discontinued. As I started down the rabbit hole i stumbled on the wave engine. I probably wont completely move away from apex but it looks like the wave engine is stand alone and i like the flexibility of controlling and powering multiple wave pumps and even different brands from a single source. My return pump is a varioS 8 so another benefot of being able to control it (although im already contolling it via apex). Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks!

Hey, I’m about to move things over to my tank after repairing my overflow and I can let you borrow my wave engine and Octo pulse 4’s? I’m using it on the temp tank, so they’re just going to sit on the shelf until I set up a grow out tank. It’s the ETM version, so if you have MP’s with the older WiFi chip (pre mobius) then you can sync them as well. I’ll let you know when I’m finished using them and bring them up to you?

Text me and I can give you more details on programming and how I have it connected to my apex. I can trigger feed mode and wave profiles using virtual outlets with a button box. I have the cable that connects the WE to apex.

I'm giving them a citric acid bath now, so I should be able to bring everything to you soon. I'll text you when they're ready. In the meantime, I would download and install the Hydros app and create an account, etc. I'll remove mine from my collective/account, so you can start from scratch. I'll show you how to program and set up a schedule, it's pretty easy once you get it set up.

No problem, hopefully they work out for you. Always good catching up and looking at your tank, it's still rock'n! That northern lights grannie was looking really good!
