Wave Maker

[AustriIQPlays]

Hi everyone! i have a 15 gallon tank and i was wondering if what wave maker i need. i already purchase a wave maker that a local pet store suggested. it has 3000l/h speed and my substrate went crazy. im not using it now though.

if anyone can just give me the speed of what im supposed to be getting. thanks a lot

Can you control/adjust the power of the wavemaker they sold you? If not, I'd return it and get something more appropriately sized. Check out these, which can be tuned as needed for the appropriate amount of flow:

nero 3: https://amzn.to/4i6TBPY

Keep in mind also with a tank that size, your filter may provide enough flow, depending on what you intend to keep in the tank.

What brand aquarium is it? We may have a flow kit that would allow you to easily add a Random Flow Generator nozzle. In a tank of that size, a single 1/2in or a dual 1/4in in Flow kit would do it - and you may not even need a power head.

im from the Philippines, and returning is very hard here especially if uve already used it even once. lol its cheap so i havent thought of what i really need at that moment.

ive know that filters can have its flow but i dont think mine is enough. i have and HOB and i can see my substrate is getting a bit dirty, rocks are dusty. thats for the links btw. ill check it out. im thinkng now of buying what speed i need. so an adjustable speed can help. thanks a lot sir!

I run an rfg and a jebao SOW-3 wave maker on my work 13.5 nano. The price is right. I used to have a nero3 and it was great as well.

I prefer gyres, I used a Jebao Ecp-50m on my 15g and it was perfect.

yeah - unfortunately in this case the RFG would not be of much use. it is adaptable to circulation pumps and there are ways to use it in that way, but honestly, in this case, a small flow pump is lil your best option.

Depending on the pump outlet - most will have a 20mm or 13mm OD outlet. We have adapters sand fittings to accommodate those sort of outlets. In fact, nay of our flow kits already come with those adapaters.

If you know what brand an model pump it is, i may be able to figure out what would work.
