Default Comm tank and wavemakers.

Hi,

Just curios, for comm owners, how many wavemakers do you have in your tank?
also how's the placement? I have 1 wavemaker in my 8 foot tank and my aro is not affected by it.

thanks.

I have a total of 4 wave makers in my 6 ft...two twin heads and two single heads. So far nippings recorded but not major fights. Fishes in the tank are as follows:

1) 9 x Golds
2) 4 x Kelberi Bahia Gold Spiders
3) 2 x FlagTails (Fei Feng)
4) 10 x Red Face Barbs

Wavemaker was intentionally placed to disrupt the fights between aros...but noticed they do well to direct dirt into the IOS inlet for filteration

I'm using two wavemaker for my 6ft tank n my main purpose is to force them swim against the current. This will made them grow faster by increase their metabolism n start eating again.

thanks currently planning to experiment on mixing my 4 big size reds in my 8 ft tank.
last timer tried 3 pieces but failed
now adding another big red to try again.
but worried as tank is an 8 footer and 1 twinhead wavemaker does not seem to affect my aro
for sh*T at the buttom, i usually just siphon them during wc
