Surge device wave maker reef tank build and plumbing

Surge device wave maker reef tank build and plumbing. This allows to have a random wave surge within the aquarium and act more like the real environment in the ocean. Roughly 5 gallons every 50 seconds surges into the tank with a siphon and gravity forced into the display tank. Currently running a submersible return pump to filter the water via a hose and a ball valve, as well running the surge device with a mag drive return pump. Check for next update as I will be adding fish, crush coral for sand bed and installing the 250 watt metal halide 10000k. Along with some live rock that is from my other display tank with amazing purple coralline algae on it. Would like to add corals when I'm ready and water perameters are stable and in the right range. May install my vertex omega 150 protein skimmer in the sump. Wood oak canopy and stand all complete, water changes and temperature monitor and ph. Adventurous calcium and alk etc. All custom deign and set up. Any sujestions? Comments? Like? Want more how to and DIY? Stay tuned Leopazzoinyourmouth That's the channel

Have you gotten this working well with automatic top off? Would you recommend doing this? Thanks.

Holger Junge yes I have got it to work well with The auto top off. To be honest it is a fun little project. And may be cost effective but overall I think it's best to just get a Wavemaker or 2 if you are trying to accomplish to have some extra flow in your tank

The surging effect can be accomplished more economically in the main display with a slow running strong dc motor and only two teeths rotary wing. In addition to this, if your rotary wings are sanded and tiny holes on it, it will also serve as a algae sucrabber because wings will be much closer to the light source and the half of the wing is always exposed to the air. You can also connect it to a battery and solar panel. Thus you will have endless surge motion no matter what. To prevent splashing, you can cover the wing with a clear acrylic or a plastic. Finally, you may avoid buying tunze wavemaker. :) the sewage treatment and algae growing raceway tanks have similar kind of water movement equipment. I advice you to check them and copy/apply to an aquarium, if you wish!! Best!!

No the upward u pipe is to create back pressure so the flapper closes. There is more silence to it

Does the upward tube with the U in it help prevent bubbles from entering the main display tank?

Thanks a lot. I just recently put in 99lbs of live rock and a few fish to start the cycling stage. Lots of flow in this tank. Still not done. Going to still install the new Jebao wp40 wave maker. Stay tuned and see it in action in both my reef tank.
