wavemaker important?

[yikai]

hi broz. is wavemaker important? my 3 ft tank so far dun have any wavemakers...i had a cheap sun sun one which spoilt. but i find it too powerful anyway. i see almost everyone here have a wavemaker...is it that important? im using my return pipe to target water around my tank. its not much, but at least it keeps my coral's tentacles moving. i want a wavemaker, but they are dam expensive....and was just wandering if its necessary? im just a studen so cannot anyhow spend money XD the cheapest wavemaker i see aquamarin selling is those nano ones. but even so, it cost 9 red notes. and its not even strong enuf for my tank. so was just going to ask if isit REALLY neccesary? as in, die die must have? or isit only a luxury item....please let me know ty

i can pass mine to u if you want...its the sun sun brand, 3000l/hr.

information from the net update that it's better to have, create more oxygen for those dead area.

Last time didn't get any wavemaker, but once got, they will swim against it (like very happy like that).

my 200 cents

[Ah-lim]

Strong water movement = minimal dead spot(no gathering of poop at one corner) = discourage algae grow

[yikai]

i notice that because my tank very little wave movements, some area very "dusty". alot of fine particles settle on the rocks. i only have one return pump creating q moderate current on the left side of my tank. my torch and hammer coral seem to love it, and my clowns occasionally go there. but because of this, my coral placement quite limited. means can only put those need flow one at left side. right side can only put mushies, GSP, clove, those not so dependant on flow.

but if the wavemaker's function is only to decrease dead spots and oxygenise the tank, then i guess i can make do without it for the mean time. but if its detrimental to my corals if i dun have one, then i should get one soon. anyone know if corals will die/not do well without wavemaker?

ahsiang, last time my sun sun one the metal axle became rusty. i dunno what happen. do u need it? if u need it then u use bah. i just want to know if without wavemaker is bad for coral or not. haha. not so urgent yet...thanks for the offer though

when i started i didnt have one and even with a strong return, true to form i had a poopy deritus filled corner and also especially at the base of some rocks. I put it in and it made a big difference to the tank, and i think the fish like it. drop food in front and watch them swim to get. more adventure and fun for everyone

Very important to have in marine tank. A minimum, probably a return pump.

Also, lights, intensity depends on what you keep.

Skimmer, cheato, algae scrubber or any kind of waste exports.

Etc etc...

for that price, you can get a tunze 6025! please get at least a 6025 for your tank...

think i saw someone selling a 6045 recently... you may need that for your 3 footer.

my 2.5', i'm using 2x6025 (just bought a 2nd one today) + wavebox nano. plus my return is an aquabee 5000.

i second this! i have a hydor nano in my tank and i am considering getting another one to improve the water flow..

strongly think you should get one too... save up some $$ and dun buy any more corals and fishes! lol...

can always get from Pasar Malam if any bros are upgrading or decomming..=]

Buy those 2nd ones at pasar malam. Surely got those reefers wanna decom.

I don't quite like nano tunze. It's quite fragile. I broke the pins that connected to the magnet base.

If your setup has no sandbed. Use as much wave as possible.
