Where in the tank do you place your wave makers ?

Well, we're a little biased but this is what I have in my home display.
4 MP40s at 45-65% throughout the day and 2 Icecap Gyres at 50-65% I think its a nice set up as far as flow is concerned and I alternate the MP40 flows throughout the day.

Same as me apart from mine are higher to the water surface. Your tanks looking very good!

I like to have a lot of flow, and if I keep it any higher, the vortech will suck in a lot of air during my peak flow schedule.

Thanks for the compliment! A lot of time, thought and patience is going into this reef lol.

I'm sort of new to saltwater. I've had my tank running now for about 8 months. I have a blue chromis and a clown fish in a 50 gallon tank, see attached. It has a 29 gallon sump and the drains are on the right side and the return comes back on the left side of the tank. The tank is 36" wide and 24" deep.

I want to start adding a few more fish and some coral. From what I've been reading the LPS coral is easier to grow so I thought I'd start there. I just bought a Domica wave maker and am looking for some guidance as to where to put it in this tank. My original thought was under the overflow on the right side of the tank so it would be somewhat hidden. It would be pushing against the incoming water flow from the return so I thought that would create a better flow mixture. But then I'm new to all this and I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

We went with two Maxspec gyers so they aren't overly visible on our 6' tank. They are high on the sides but have made the two dunes you see. Not sure why they aren't equal.

I have 4 in my 225 gal tank. I have 2 gyre 350's on the top sides of my tank and 2 mp40's on the side middle way up and towards rhe back to create flow along the backside of my scape.

Standard 75g
2 wav opposite sides pointing to the front center. Random programming throughout the day. Jaebo pp8 on left end going across the back of scape. Return is on the left pointing to the front middle. Roughly 350 per hour.

Two Gyre's and an MP40 blow across the aquascape. I've tried the back wall but didn't work out.

In my redsea xl 300 mixed reef 2xnero5 on pulse 75% parent child slight offset on back glass so pushing water to front. Gets good movement. On the Fowlr 40 breeder 1xnero5 also pulse mode on the long side.
