I didn't see any pricing. Is this the same technology that they use in wave pools?

Reminds me of the Taam Polario.  Never gained any popularity though.  This has a different flow pattern though.

Ive been trying to find more info but it seems very sparse at best. It would be nice if they were modular and controllable.

There is nothing really out yet. It seems they are kinda tight lipped about em right now, but they should be available this summer.

Wow, that looks pretty awesome - great looking flow pattern with a small footprint.  In the video though, would be interesting to see some rockwork in there, as opposed to nothing but empty space, to see the impact on the flow.

Just read a posting by a supposed maxspect rep on another site that mentioned 'If you could afford a jebao then you could afford a Riptide, wink wink'
This is extremely promising. If one could get this for around $250 then I think we will truly have a game changer...

Looks promising.  Just hope they offer it in black

Personally I think the design puts too much load on the motor, bearings and shaft. I can't see it lasting and it would probably be a pain to clean. Will have to see the user reviews.

I like it and will definitely be trying one on my 300 gallon reef... if the price is right of course.

Quick update, CoralVue website has a MAP of $299.99. Not sure what size of device this reflects but it looks promising.
