When it comes to placing a wave maker for an aquarium, there are several factors that need to be taken into consideration. The most important is the size of the tank and its inhabitants. A larger tank with more fish will require a stronger wave maker than one with less or smaller fish. Additionally, if you have corals in your aquarium then you’ll want to make sure the waves don’t come too close to them as they can cause damage. Another factor is where exactly you place the wave maker within the aquarium. It should be placed towards one side of the tank rather than in its center so that water flows evenly across all sides and not just one direction (this will create an even flow throughout). Lastly, remember to place it low enough so that any debris or waste doesn’t impede on its performance but also high enough so that it won’t get caught up on rocks or other objects at the bottom of your tank! With these considerations in mind, choosing where best to position your wave maker is easily done – ensuring happy and healthy aquatic life for years to come!
