    So I just bought a Hydor Smartwave. So far no complaints...

    I currently have it attached to 750 evolutions.

    My display is a standard 75g.

    My question is, what would be a good set up for the pumps now that I have this wavemaker to go along with them?? This is my first wavemaker so I'm new to them, as i could tell 5 seconds after using it the diff it made in my tank.

    I assume you have 2 750's?

    If you do place them mid level in the back on the sides pointed at each other

    I'm trying to upload a photo of the current set up.

    I am actually running 4x 750's and 2x 425's

    I have 2 1050s, 2 750s and 2 425s on my 75. I run the SmartWave on alternating mode with a 5 second interval. I have 1 750 and 1 1050 up near the top on each side and 1 425 on each side aimed behind the rocks. All three on each side are connected to the wavemaker with a 3 way plug.
