Hi everyone,
I’m having some issues with setting up a wave maker in my fish tank and could really use some advice.
I want to add a wave maker to my tank, but I’m looking for one that isn’t too powerful. My tank is a Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon, and it’s filled with quite a bit of live rock which is quite tall.
I bought a Jebao MOW-3 wave maker (2-6 watts) and set it to the lowest setting. However, when I put it in my tank, it turned the whole tank into a washing machine. It’s way too powerful, so I stopped using it.
Now, I’m noticing that there are many areas in the tank where the water flow isn’t adequate. I mainly want to create some flow for my Torch Coral and some SPS corals at the top of the tank. Currently, I’m using a Sicce Syncra Silent 1.0 pump (251gph, 5ft head) which provides some flow, but I’m worried it might not be enough. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe on the placement of the wave maker or recommendations for a different model that would be more suitable?
Here are some pictures of my tank for reference.
Thanks in advance for your help!
