definately need strong current for them to leave well....some of my FOWLR friends notice a signifcaint improvement in their behaviours when they add in a tunze to their FOWLR....

for me even a seio in a 2 footer ended up with my fishes coming out more often to 'enjoy' the surf.....however ,do becareful of heat generated by sumersable pumps....

[piglet]

Agreed with tineng, & looking forward to see yr pic!

Concealed tunze chambers.Don't really like the wavemaker to be seen on main viewing area,that's why have to hide it in this 11" chamber.

care to take a pic of the concealed tunze chamber    how r u going to do maintenance 

The top part of the chambers are open concept,one on the left & the other right. The IOS is at the middle. The water will be suck in thru a hole below & into the chamber,the tunze will then push the water out to the main tank again. I will suck out dirt from the top.
