Is a wavemaker required?

[keirra1988]

Hi all

Decided to get myself into the salty hobby recently and got myself the Ocean free 63L nano tank

I was wondering is a wavemaker needed for this tank or is the flow from the IOS filter sufficient?

U can change the pump to stronger ones. Then u buy random flow generator.
U dont need wavemaker already when u have this.

a small RW-4/OW-4/SLW-10 wavemaker from jebao should work well in your tank.

Hmmm I was worried that a stronger pump won’t be able to fit into the small space behind from the IOS

Ahh I was also looking at the jebao slw 10 but I was worried it might be too strong for the tank

Don't think will be too strong, you can always set at the lowest setting since its controllable. Also pulse mode tend to be more 'gentle' on corals rather than straight on standard mode.

I have a 10G I am also using jebao slw10

I think should be ok

Depending on the size of the RFG, for 63L u should be going for the smallest RFG which only require appx 300-400L/H for the random effect.

I’m using it for my 50L nano tank too lol...

I've got a Jebao SL10 on my Fluval nano tank. Its been great. The corals love it.
