fisher Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Nice setup. I think one 6060 wavemaker seem not enuff..Maybe you can add in another wavemaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendation to add on? Maybe u can add in another tunze 6060 or 6105 or maybe mp40w. becos flow from return pump will reduce after going thru all the piping. Just my view.
