Wavemaker

Does anyone run a wavemaker on your tanks? Is there an advantage of having one or is it just for the more real life feeling...

I like the looks of those waves but I prefer a sea swirl or a wavy sea wit ha power head attached (modded)
For more of a random flow,.
with SPS anyway, one directional flow will give you a pattern growth rather than natural growth.

I run most of my tanks with them and also am using a surge tank too. for my tanks reason being is think how strong the ocean currents are in the wild around reefs and open sea's this is a great benefit in keeping your tank from not having dead zones for detritus or leftover food to build up and cause algae as well as help your corals and fish flourish it is pricey to get one but pays for itself in the long run.
