I'm looking to see if there are any other wavemakers, other than Vortech, that have no electrical wires inside the aquarium.

Thanks. I'm a complete beginner so not sure if I should start off with something cheaper and once I get a hang of everything get something nicer. I would love to have the wire hidden so that is my driving factor to Vectra.Unfortunately, I don’t think there are wavemakers other than vortechs. They have a patent, so that’s why I’m guessing no one could make one similar to vortechs. I have MP40s and they are well worth the price and can last for a long time if that’s what bothering you.
If you are planning to have many corals (especially SPS) in the future, vortech is a no brainer as it won’t create heat in the tank and no wires. I did go with a cheap powerhead when I first started, but it was a waste of money as it died quickly and had to upgrade.Thanks.

There are some aftermarket shields that can help direct flow, but they’re not adjustable other than repositioning and changing the programming.Are the vortechs adjustable in the tank? i.e. can you point them in a certain direction?
