I was looking at all the oscillating pumps on the market and they are pretty pricy.
I was thinking of a diy possibly using an oscillating fan motor.
You can get a small oscillating fan at LHS for $12.00
Take the fan apart and use the osciallting motor from the fan to attatch to a powerhead and turn the whole powerhead 90 degrees side to side.
The fans are very small so I would image the motors very small. It might look kind of supid.
So instead of attatching the power head to the tank using the suction cups. The P.H. could be suspended in the water using the hooks provided. As the fan motor turns, the hook turns, moving the PH side to side.
let me know what you think. The only problem would be water getting in contact with the fan motor as it would have to be suspended directly above the PH.
