Hi, As a newbee I want to ask what are those two black motor fans like thing on both side of tank? Are they used for the water movement?

Woah this is a real old photo of my tank haha. But yes the two black things on either side are for water movement. It also helps with oxygen exchange.

Those are just simply circulation pumps to keep the water moving around as saltwater fish are used to a strong current/wave motion from the ocean moving so much! It's real funny to watch fish swim in the current. One time I saw a fairy wrasse that would dart towards the pump/WaveMaker and the pump would shoot it back across the tank lol it was hilarious to me.
 
Awwh thanks!!
And if it doesn't bother you, can you please tell me what they are called? So I can search on ebay or amazon :)
As germ42 said above they are called circulation pumps. I would suggest getting some jebao pumps on Amazon. Super cost effective and they have a good bit of controllability.
