i've had it up and running for almost
six months
and for 69 bucks sleep
you're getting sleepy
and i'm also going to show you a
tutorial on how the programming works
new viewers put your middle school brain
on
because that's just how i'm gonna do the
[Music]
video
[Music]
hey guys how's it going
all right guys we're back i hope you all
recovered from the storm
i got quite a few comments from people
who endured what i was enduring
even worse so i hope you guys are back
in power i hope nothing happened to your
tanks
those of you are interested in the
battery backup that i made
i'll put a link in this video to
where i got the instructions to put all
that together
in this video today i'm going to show
you a detailed
video and tutorial on the higer wave
maker i've shown it before
but i never showed the unboxing and it
up close
and i'm also going to show you a
tutorial on how the programming works
all right let me get this higher out of
the box and get into the video
sleep you're getting
sleepy
all right guys the long awaited
[Music]
tiger wave maker unboxing
i did this some time ago if you remember
but the box was open
i had already put it in my tank so today
you're going to see the official
unboxing
and i'm gonna give you a tutorial on how
this
controller works it was complicated
because of the directions that i had
shown you
but i've since figured it out and it's
actually quite
simple it's just directions were kind of
confusing
so here's the controller
[Music]
i have to say guys this has been up and
running
for five months now and i really like
this little wave maker
okay so here's the magnet this goes on
the back of your aquarium or wherever
you're going to place it outside
and this is the inside holder
of the actual power head or
wave maker pump itself so you can see
you can see the size of this it's quite
small
you know and these here
these are rubber feet
and they go right inside this there is a
way that they go
on there you have to line them up and
then you just push it in
it goes in quite easy
well i'm going to make a liar out of
myself now
these get pushed in on the back and
there it is it kind of takes away the
vibration
so those rubber feet are important i've
had it
up and running for almost six months and
for 69
bucks so that's that then
let's just open up you twist this open
to clean it
and this comes off really easy this is
the propeller
and it just slides down inside the
magnet
and it's very uh no no noise
no rubbing it's a super quiet
wave maker or power head very quiet
this is your cable it gets plugged in
to the controller and then you have your
ac to dc
outlet here you know you
[Music]
let's do the whole thing say this plugs
in and then this goes into
the other cable on the controller
pretty easy stuff guys i had no problems
with it it's
really quiet but only for 20 and under
i noticed it's just not powerful enough
to do anything over if you go over 20
you'll probably need
two facing each other
now i will show you when you plug it in
what these do alright so as soon as you
plug this
in you'll get zero zero zero all the way
across
this four is minutes so that's 4 minutes
it's been on
since i turned it on so the factory
setting
you'll have to set the time and i'll
show you that in a minute
if you hit the s button here these are
touch sensitive you don't have to push
down too hard that's
showing the factory setting
of the first period the first number
shows the time of day
the second number here the two that
modifies the amount of
power that the pump will put out so
number one the number one will put out
40 power number two will put out 60
percent
number three will put out eighty percent
and the number four will put out a
hundred percent
right this third number represents
and modifies the wave motions
there it is guys
the mini wave maker you can see how big
it is it offers
four wave motions classic wave which
would be number one
nutrition transfer wave which would be
number two
constant stream would be number three
and random mode would be number four
this last number here is the wave
frequency
so let me show you how you set these now
the s gets you back and forth from time
of day
to your program and that would vary
depending on the time of day
if you want so for example if i hit the
s
that's your time the m button will
change one at a time so as i keep
hitting the m
it goes across so every time i hit the m
it goes to the next number while i'm
making this video here
the controller is set up to 2400 hour
time which i'm not really used to
1pm is 13.
so i want that i want the one
to be there i already i hit one if i hit
that again it's gonna go to two see
back to zero all right so i want it to
be
13 i hit the m
again and it's i want to go to 13
that's one hit the m again it is 13
19 right now that one's set so let's go
to nine
[Music]
i'm missing sorry about that okay there
it is 13
19 is the time now so if you look at
your
instructions you'll see that 1319
is a particular time of day and they
call it
day from 9 30 a.m to 1400 it's day
so your times are from 5 30 a.m
to 7 30 a.m is dawn from
7 30 to 9 30 a.m is sunrise from 9
30 to 1400 or 1 o'clock is day
from 1400 or 1 o'clock
this is till 3 30 or 16
30 and then from 16 30 to 5
30 a.m they call it night mode
right this is how you program
the wave action and motion
so we'll go to s now we're in
program mode that's obviously not a time
of day
in the morning which is one
so i'll set the first number at one
you let that run for a few seconds and
it automatically sets it
say it stopped all right so from
5 30 to 7 30 which is the dawn setting
that's set up now i will go to
the second phase which is the second
number we
said was how strong
i want the power to be
i would say i would recommend minus set
at the
maximum power and i have a five gallon
so you hit the m again and it'll start
that's the first one now it's not going
to go to the second one until you hit it
again
now it moves to the second one and i
want that
to be on four that's the maximum
power setting all right so in the
morning
from you know it's tricky now but in the
morning the first setting
the first number from 5 30 to 7 30 i'm
on
full power and then my wave motion i
like the one where it says nutritional
transfer it's like a gradual
up and down wave motion so what you do
is you're gonna have to push
m one two to move it over
three the nutritional transfer wave
motion
is number two and i want to go to number
two
so now i'm at nutritional transfer
wave motion or action the last setting
the last number is your frequency
i want mine to be the slowest i don't
need it to be fast it'll be too
turbulent in there so you hit m
m again to the second one m again to the
third one m again to the last one and
this is a little tricky one is the
fastest
a is the slowest
all right guys have a great day
stay healthy all right guys that's it
for this one
have a great day stay healthy
and i'll see you on water change
wednesday take care now
