Water level swaying back and forth?

[JFinlay]

Don’t know how to describe this exactly and also not sure if it’s an issue, can’t figure out what is causing this to happen just makes my corals sway in a weird way.

My whole tank the water level sways from side to side, I’ve attached a video. Any ideas?

Most likely from power heads or something else adding flow to the tank.
EDIT : I think it's called a standing wave maybe?

What powerheads are you using. I'd imagine you have them set for some sort of pulse.

That sway is definitely a good thing for your corals. It sort of mimics the ocean. Many people try to replicate that.

What power heads do you have running and is it in pulse mode?

Just a cheap Hygger and Jebao, both in “wave mode”

Well this is peace of mind, I’ve been trying to slightly move the powerheads around to make it more random but I’ll just leave it be. I have one up almost at the top of the water line for surface agitation, and another much lower in the opposite corner

It's awesome, don't change it.

It usually takes a lot of effort to get a standing wave in your tank and to have euphyllia sway back and forth like that. People have to time the pulse just right for that to happen. And if you stumbled upon that without even trying, I think there'd be some people that would be envious of that luck.

I have my powerheads running different schedules throughout the day, but in the evening it goes into pulse mode that is timed for a standing wave, I really enjoy watching coral polyps sway with the current like that.

This is awesome. For some reason I assumed the polyps on my torches/hammer should be moving more, but I will leave everything alone now and enjoy the peace of mind that I stumbled upon the optimal flow for my corals! Thank you all so much
