Best position for wave maker

[Isazh]

Hi reef wolves

I have quastion that it trobles me, i have mixed reef aquarium, softis and lps, and 2 clowns. Aquarium is 80 x 40 x 40 cm ( or 31,4 x 16 x 16 inc).

I have only one stream pump Tunze 6025, will post a picture of curent state of flow, so i have some dead spots and waves keping staff inside of aquarium .

So can you give your proposition for placement my stream pump?

2 pumps one in front one in back on same side.

Ok, tnx. So i cant get decent flow with one pump, because this one is 30x times over my aquarium size and its strong (in litres) and have everybody happy. to make sure my lps dont have to much flow, and my garbage to be taken to my skimmer in sump?

 

[chris k.]

The tunze pushes a narrow stream. So you will have to put one in front of rock and behind rock. If you want a more even flow.

Tunze likes back left aimed at the 3/4 mark of the front right of tank and back right aimed at the 3/4 mark front left.
