Guide Review - BM OSCI-Wave Wavemaker
The BM OSCI-Wave oscillator is a small motor which is attached to the rim of the tank and suspends a powerhead up to 4.5" below the surface of the water. The motor sweeps the powerhead in a 90 degree arc every 30 seconds. The manufacturer (Bell Marine) recommends the use of Aquarium Systems Maxi-Jet powerheads, due to their small size for the high velocity output.
