Wave maker cover?

[leo12345]

My wave maker is a little too strong, so I was wondering what I could use to cover it to reduce the flow and keep my fish from trying to swim into it.

You can use a mesh bag like you’d use for media to protect from fish getting in there, but it kills the flow substantially.

What make and model? There may be a 3d print file out there for it.

You can find a nem guard for just about any wavemaker. Would likely be right up your alley.

Your fish are trying to swim into the wavemaker but reducing the flow will stop them from swimming into the wavemaker? It seems a bit odd.

They swim in when it’s off for feeding. I need a cover because I’m scared I might accidentally turn on the pump with a fish still in there. But the main reason for a cover is because the flow is too high and I don’t want to get a new wavemaker.

What type of wavemaker is it? Some wavemakers have covers that you can purchase separately.
You can also do a search on youtube, there are lots of interesting diy's on lots of products. Covers for wavemakers is a common issue so you should be able to find something, hopefully. Good luck

I would try to get a cover for it! If you have access to a 3d Printer, you might be able to print a cover for it!

Why turn off the powerhead when feeding? I never turn mine off on any system when feeding.
