Thoughts on wave making in your tank

I would like to do a surge but the location of my DT won't allow for it without having it in the open. I feel that it would help keep waste suspended so that it can get to the overflow and not settle in the substrate or on your rocks.

 

agreed vortecs are controllable sicce also has a controllable option option aqua medic has a ocean prop pump controllable tunze has a controllable option hydor has a controllable option there are a lot of choices out there.........the question is which one is best?

I have a vortech on my 56 cube and really like it. i switch between wave mode and lagoon. I don't notice any difference in growth or PE from my corals either way so I think the main thing is just lots of irregular flow. I would also like to hear if ppl have experience with some of the other options .

 

I really like my vortech. It creates some awesome flow. Now I just need to add another to the other side of my tank to really circulate everything around. I really would like to get a tunze nano wavebox to get a nice surge effect, though. I'm pretty sure my sps wouldn't mind it too much either. Regardless, I have noticed better growth from sps with the more flow I get from my vortech.
