So I have a 65 gallon Zeroedge aquarium I'm just getting up and running. I've had three in the past but none as tall as this one. Currently there is a Jaewboo DCP-20000 on tank for flow. It is set at about 44%. My previous tanks all sat like a solid block of water. Again these are all shorter tanks (one was a 22r and the other a 57 gallon lagoon pictured below) any idea how I can get the ripples cleared up on the aides of the tank. Also I've included a pic of one I found online and that one looks crystal clean.

Juat wonder do you think I need to speed the pump up or slow it down? Also In tbe next pic you can see there are two return with a y on each one and large giant fan attachments. My previous tank all had pieces of pvs about 4-6 inches long with holes drilled in them for returns

The Jebao DCP 20000 pushed 5,000 gph and seems like a big pump to me for 65G.

I use this pump in the basement sump to push water 18ft up for about 250g plus 50 gallon refuge.

Maybe running too fast? Maybe you mean DCP-2000?

I don’t run my return to fast, maybe just 3-5 times turn per hour for good sump contact time.

I run wavemakers fast though, say 10 times turn per hour.

Oh no definitely dcp-20000. The issue with a zeroedge is creating flow in the tank, bc you can't put power head and wavemakers on the tank. So most owner over pump them so they can get turnover while trying to create movement . I do realize that movement doesn't necessarily mean flow. Currently the 1 inch returns have a split Y with two huge fan ends coming off each Y. Maybe I need to go to something that spins to create that flow or movement
