There's one listed on usedlighting.co.uk. not sure what you call cheap, this one's £300...

Ripple tanks are one way to go, the other is to use animation ['KK'] wheels and a water ripple gobo. Personally I prefer that effect but it depends on staging and suitable positions.

This http://www.rosco.com/uk/lightingequipment/x24effects.cfm is one of the best Water Ripples that I have seen. I've used them recently on a water ride at a Theme Park, very workable.

Alternatively get hold of a Mac 700, the addition of the animation wheel is amazing!

You can hire a tubular ripple machine from whitelight for £75 a week.

Alternatively- projector?

Tubular ripple effect isn't bright enough I recommend either the Mac 700 Performance or the Gam Fx which slots as a gobo and has a ripple metal film that rotates in the holder suitable for source fours and strand sl profiles.
