Depending on the wave maker, you will want to cover where it sucks in water so that any inhabitants don't get sucked
into it. I am not sure using floss is a good thing as it might come loose, get into your wave maker and cause issues.

Are you talking about gyre style wave makers by the models you listed? if so, they should come with a net style cover that will go over the cages.

No they are fluval for temporary they don’t come with covering I’m only using fluval temporary until I can replace my original eflux cause everything is already set up for them I just need replacement heads
