nice surface agitation, i think it will be cool to see the water movement when you have corals in there (especially with soft corals). you could watch the different flow patterns through out the tank...

Hey Jonathon,
I understand the concept of how the wave2k works. I personally would tinker with added phd's to get some random side flow added to the mix. But thats JMO.
Dador, keep up the good work. More vids please.
Best, Scott

Default Wave 2k Update

Still waving along! Absolutely flawless. Fish love playing in the waves and all additives get dispersed beautifully from top to bottom.

Glad to hear it.
What do they say in the manual about maintenance?

How about a new vid with the corals?
