I just added a wave maker to my 10 gallon rated for 250 gallons. Can anyone watch this video and see if my clownfish looks happy in here??
 
 
 
How Do I make this work haha
 
What kinda wave maker are you using? I think you may have meant 250 gallons per hour which means your turn over rate in 10 gal is around 25x per hour. Maybe you can dim the output of the wave maker if you feel it’s too strong? 25x sounds pretty good though
 
 
Not adjustable. I’m so paranoid a fish is gonna swim in and get hurt!?
 
Do you know exactly which wavemaker it is? Assuming it is pointed directly at the surface? I don't see sand or anything flying around.

Struggling like crazy ,looks like it's speeded up, either reposition it or remove it and get a less powerful one .
 
I think its good. 25x water turnover is minimum.

The clownfish is fine, its in the same spot that my clowns stay in, if it was too much flow it would move. Anyway the flow is not moving the sand, so its definately not too much.
