position of wave maker

[mopiko]

hi

i've an L shape tank and it seems that the L corner at the left size is dead spot. please refer to attached and advise me where should i position the wave maker so dead spot area will be minimize and the sand bed surface in motion.

wow, u got my dream tank, LOL.

I was thinking of this tank model with 8ft width since months ago. But too expensive, except I strike ToTo

it depends on how wide the tank and formation of LR. If 6 ft, maybe you should add another pump.

I think you should have at least 2 wavemakers for this tank.

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 attached is the image with over flow area. the length including the overflow portion is 8 feet. do let me knw where to put the wave maker. thinking of getting 2 X tunze 6060.

no lah. i got the tank custom made at a great deal and price with carpentry works. cheers.

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.

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.
