Water flow help

[The_Shrimper]

Hi there!
Would love to get some advice on how to setup the water flow in my tank.
The pump I have -
Return pump - 2100 L/H
Wave maker - NEWA Wave 2 1900L/H
Would appreciate help about the placement of the wave maker and if you think I should get more.
Tank dimensions - 100 cm * 60 cm *50 cm (the sump is a quarter of the tank)
Thank you!!

I can't see the video. But - to answer - I do not like 'wave makers' just the look of them. I prefer something like a max spect Gyre - which probably will give you more over flow. A pair of them on either side of the tank does an excellent job of creating flow - moving detritus out of closed areas, etc.

That pump (the return) does not sound like a huge pump for a tank that size - How many gallons is it? Unless I'm misreading - you did not give the units of the tank if its in cm as compared to inches - that would change things

Oh sorry, the units are cm . Any idea why you can't see the video?
And is there a big difference in the water flow between the gyre and a wave maker ?

Mac OS - does not work well on Safari browser here - somehow they are not able to fix it for months. I do not use Chrome. You can also post on YouTube - and put up a link

That worked. You might be able to use the smaller gyre from Maxspect on a lower setting or two of them on each size - but - at first I thought you meant 100 inches - which would have been better
