    Yet another WAV question for placement and power.

    What's everyone doing for their wave makers? I have a Reefer 350 with two Neptune WAV'S and I'm trying to figure out the best settings and placement. Right now we've got one on the left side going across the back of the rocks and one one the right side back wall going towards the right front. We also have two VCA random wave generator's on the return.

    I have a 240. It's 8 ft long. I kept mine simple. I use two WAVs at opposite ends, closer to the back wall, pointed toward the center of the front glass. My left and right profiles are the same. Here's the profile and the tank shot:

    Here's a graph I plotted a while back that shows the approximate RPMs for a few power settings. You can use it to help you decide your WAV intensity. The FLO numbers are only valid for a 240 gallon system, but the RPM and GPH numbers should be the same for everyone:
