Hey

In the process of setting up my Waterbox Frag 145 and have just received my Jabao SOW-20 wavemakers. They are a bit bigger than i was expecting so im trying to figure out the best placement for them. My original plan was to have one either end, but im now thinking maybe put both on the back wall in the corner, sort of angled towards the front glass and meeting in the middle.

Has anyone else used this placement before and had any issues?
 
I've used that setup on smaller tanks. The only issue was that by aiming at the front you'd occasionally push the water level lose to the top.

On my current setup I run a pair of gyres on the sides facing inwards and a smaller pair of gyres on the back on each side of the overflow facing forward. All mounted around 3-3.5" down.
 
So this is what i currently have set up. Im just not too keen on how much room they take up, once rock goes in etc.

What do you think?
