Corals and anemones are delicate enough as they are. When taken from the wild and placed into your aquarium, you'll need to make their new environment as familiar as possible. One of the easiest ways to do this is to create random surge patterns that will whisk through their extensions, creating a wave-like pattern. Some types of coral and anemones require turbulence to remove secretions or digestive wastes. It is also important to create adequate flow through and between the rocks of your live rock system.
Poor circulation is one of the leading causes of sulfur spots and unwanted algaes.
Above all, wavemaking is an easy and affordable method of providing a system that replicates nature as closely as possible. Times are adjustable from approximately 1 minute to approximately 40 minutes. When the feed push-button is depressed, pumps are turned off for a user controlled period of between approximately 1 minute and 40 minutes. There are two available Feed modes. A selector switch on the rear panel allows selection of either all pumps off, or only the main pump off during feeding.
