Hi All,

Anyone have a solution for trying to limit sand particles from getting into the Wetside?

I don’t have my Wetside near the sand it’s about 3/4” from the waters surface, but still blowing some sand up it feels like.

Hey, ya that sounds odd. Either you get a vortex pull from the top of the water, but i havent seen a wavemaker pull up sand. The only thing i can think of is the flow percentage. What percentage is your flow set to?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
