I've moved my wavemaker like musical chairs and the reality is I'm not sure which position is best - curious where you install your's - same side as the output flow, opposite side, etc.

Yup, I had it placed opposite directly pointing towards the water filter intake vent (overflow) originally, but not knowing better, took advice from many that said I should put it on the same glass were the pump output is - that seems to be the most 'popular', which doesn't make it correct!I would personally point my powerhead to where it was shoving water towards my overflow. It would make sense to me that you want to shove any detritus towards your filtration not away from it.
I suspect there is no right answer and any placement would be fine. Maybe I’ve always done it “wrong”. For anyone who said to place it flowing the same direction as the return did they ever give a reason why?Yup, I had it placed opposite directly pointing towards the water filter intake vent (overflow) originally, but not knowing better, took advice from many that said I should put it on the same glass were the pump output is - that seems to be the most 'popular', which doesn't make it correct!
I contacted the manufacturer of the wavemaker just to see what hey would say, and the response was placing the item at the water output of the filter area, and near a corner and pointing towards the center of the aquarium...so if the filter output is on the left, the wavemaker would be on the right corner and faced towards the center.I suspect there is no right answer and any placement would be fine.

My current tanks either have a overflow in each corner or the whole back wall is an overflow, so for me it doesn’t matter, but in the past I would put it shoving water towards the overflow.
