IM Lagoon 25 w/ (2) wavelink setup

[Alex Mederos]

hi i have(as the title states) a lagoon 25 with 2 wave links. i set it up as a mixed frag tank while i tear down and redo my 120. Length:23.62” Width:19.68” Height:11.8”. im running one xr30W gen4 pro with the rms arm. right now i have all the frags on an egg crate 2" from the bottom and the rack covers mainly all of the tank (with the exception of some space all around to pass the scraper). i have varios acros, montis, cyphs, acans, chalices, zoas, etc. i want to know if anyone has the experience with the (fairly new) wavelinks. placement, directional flow (rotates and swivels).

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Ok... let’s see if I can get the ball rolling. I was thinking a few different options; even tho it’s a small tank and I don’t want to blast my lps’s. Looking from top-down have them staggered same height or have them in-line where each stream hits the opposite pump. Or... looking at the front one higher than the other (can be staggered or also “in-line”). Now the second part would be do I face them up, down, or have them straight? I should also mention that my lps’s are towards the front and sps’s in the back.

I'm not familiar with lagoon per se but, getting some flow that goes from left to right or vise versa against the back wall and then have another pump at center (left or right center) facing the water line creates some nice random flow especially if you in corporate pulse wave patterns. However, I'm not up to speed with wavelinks capabilities.

They’re rated for “my size” tank. Maybe up to a 30 g. That being said they’re also $100/ea dc pumps so they’re not ultimately the best on the market. They do move stuff around sometimes knocking over frags. I will def move the pumps to those locations and try it out, I’ve tried countless positions and can’t find a happy medium. Thanks again. I’ll report back
