Changing currents improve live rock's ability to convert ammonia to nitrite, to nitrate and then nitrogen gas. Fish love the excitement of changing water flow. All the experts agree Water movement in your aquarium is one of the most important factors in aquarium health, fish as well as coral . Wave makers provide your aquarium with the means to control water circulation. Wave makers create surge and turbulence which keep your tank healthy.
Corals rely on water currents to provide food and oxygen as well as removal of waste.
Algae grows in areas where circulation is poor. By providing better circulation wave makers allow a better gas exchange at the tank surface. This allows CO2 to be released and oxygen to be acquired. Fish enjoy the currents and get a cardiovascular workout, keeping them healthy as well. The complex water movement provided by a wave maker allows your filter to act upon all of the water in your tank - top to bottom.
