Wavemakers!

[rikstar]

Hi all, I have just set up a planted aquarium. 8 ft 1800liters +5 ft sump. it is an ex-marine tank So I have the use of some wave makers. I was wondering if a planted aquarium would benefit Using wave makers or is it unnecessary due to too much water movement! They are programmable so can be set very slow.
Thanks

With that size tank, I’m sure they will come in useful to get the flow that you need to maintain a healthy planted aquarium.

Surface agitation is a good thing. More oxygen.

I’d put them 4” below the surface with a slight upward inclination. Get some surface movement.

I forgot to mention i have twin return pump either end off the tank that provide good surface agitation,
