    So I've recently started a nano tank, here's a tip on how to get good "waves" in the tank.

    Step 1. Purchase the $10 Pro Aqua Nano Wave Maker!!

    Step 2. Attach pipe to fit to your power head.

    Step 3. Attach to power head, and be amazed at the noise, uglyness, and poor quality with which this device is made.

    Step 4. Place Pro Aqua Nano Wave Maker in the bin.

    Step 5. Teach yourself not to buy useless things for your nano tank.

    Step 6. Start saving for your new VorTech MP10

    LMAO!!!!

    I have a 29 gallon. To aggitate the surface I have one of these [​IMG] but instead of blowing left to right I have it blowing up and down. Along with my two koralias theres plenty of flow and I've even gotten out of the habit of using my canister filters spray bar for surface tenson breaking.....Now every couple of days I turn it on to shoot out the pods living in it!! (The canister filter is a GREAT pod condo....)

    Anywho, I'll get rid of this cheapo thing once it stops working but for right now it's a dream and creates waves pretty darn well :D
