Hi i recently got wave 78l tank have set it up and quite often the outlet nozzle below the water level creates like a vortex is that normal or an issue with the pump thanks
 
Don't think it's a huge issue, you may be able to increase the water level to remove the vortex, or point the nozzle at a different angle.
 
Ok thanks I have tried pointing different directions only way it stopped was when I had it pointing at the surface more . If I add much more water ot will be very close or touching the top of the tank
