Hello, and HELP!! :)

[Fish_Fingers91]

Hi all, I hope you are well, All things considered globally! UK guy here, first marine tank.

Question about wavemaker placement in a cube tank. All the videos I've seen online have them at the end of traditional rectangular tanks. Any advice where I should place mine?! I'm running an external filter with the input on the right.

Also, I have put a new wavemaker in today to replace one which stopped working. I thought I was doing the right thing by getting a double headed wavemaker however it seems to be a little overpowering? (Or maybe I'm comparing it to the old one which only had one working head!)

Apologies for the lengthy post! And Hi again!
Quick video attached - any other advice would be welcome as I'm an absolute newbie to marine. Finally made the switch after 10+ years of freshwater!

Thanks all. FF

Wave maker placement is tricky. Greatly depends on rock work, where you will want certain corals and the type of flow. Pics can help
