placement of wave maker

[chercm]

this is really challenging

i really very fustrating on this

[jervismun]

Why is that so? Tell us more, perhaps we can help. I have a Tunze wave maker in my 24g NC and the fishes seem very happy with it. Show us pix so we can better understand your frustration.

my cynaria is always stress. i really ran out of ideas on how ot place my wave maker

[jervismun]

I understand now, that's why my wavemaker is only running 20%. Our tanks are a bit small for this kinda fancy stuff. However, most corals and fishes will benefit from nearer-to-nature simulation. Is your pump head flow adjustable? If yes, lower it. Another way is to add a slightly taller LR behind the coral to block the current. Maybe this will help reduce stress for the time being. Once you coral is more stable, then think about relocation lor.

so which direction should i blow at ?

[hammy]

seio 620?

mine is front corner left , coral ok and fishes still swimming happily

Another way is to point the wavemaker upwards, so that it will create more surface movement (a good thing) and less direct to the corals.

And I seriously suggest you add a background. I think black or dark blue will look nice. It will keep the reef more focus.

i left my wave maker blowing at the back glass.

what do u think ?

[jervismun]

What if you move the SEIO to the back wall, facing the front wall. That way the effect will be the same and you don't see the SEIO that much.

tried that it does not work as cyrinnia is still stress .

[jervismun]

Move the wavemaker even higher?

forget it , i will use my canister output for the gentle wave instead

IMO,maybe u can off the Seio pump first. monitor all the corals esp the cyn. It takes few days to week for them to get use. realax and make sure u heed my advices...

hope these helps...reefz onz....

Doubt your external pump can create the necessary flow in your tank. Since your cyn is showing signs of recovering, maybe you should just leave everything alone as they are and monitor things for a few days....
