Hey everyone! Do you think I have enough water surface agitation for my fish? I have a wavemaker and return pump in the tank. I attached a picture and am just paranoid. I don’t want to lose fish:(

It’s an all in one tank I forgot to mention.

And I usually have a see through lid that sits ontop. It can sit flush ontop because of the wires but I think that’s a good thing

Based on the ripples it does look lower than mine. Enough? Not sure.

Do you have a skimmer?

The flow through the rear chamber of the AIO also provides some oxygenation.

More won’t hurt.

I just flipped the wavemaker so now it also creates surface agitation. Do you think this is better?
 
One other thought, Is your lid mesh or solid?

My lid is mesh, so it doesn’t reduce oxygenation.

It’s solid but it can’t lay flat on the top so there’s ways for oxygen to get in
