Hi guys,
I've been keeping marine tanks for just short of a year now and have just rescaped my tank. This included changing the sand to Red Sea sand.
I've got two rw8 wave makers running on half power both on the same side of the tank. They are set in a constant flow except at night.
My partial problem is all the sand is now moving to one side of the tank. How can I stop this ?

i would put them opposite of each other and put them on a short burst wave mode, w 1 also you can dial them down a lot, they are very powerful and it seems like your tank is pretty short. Besides LPS look much cooler when they sway under the waves rather than being pushed to one side.
