Hi bro,

May I know where's the overflow? Knowing the position of the overflow will help in deciding where to place your wavemaker.

Hi bro,

I may place my 6060 as per below to ensure that I cover dead spot and most importantly to direct water into your overflow.

HTH ;)

I think one of the "water out pipe" near overflow will somehow create problem.... Can u imagine how the water going to flow when water suppose to flow down the overflow but there is one pushing the water away? I will think that dirty water get to retain longer in the tank.... Is there alternative to change that problematic pipe?

agree iwth this gorgeous lady. it is advisable to put that pump away from the overflow and the output back to tank at the other end.
