Roger,
It was nice to be able to place a face with the name and a pleasure to meet you. We met at RAP this last weekend. I was surprised to see how much your avatar actually looked like you IRL!
To whomever can answer... Thank you and please find my questions below.
I got a look at the wavemaker on one of the vendor tanks and was blown away. It was doing exactly what I wanted for my tank but so far haven't been able to with the two MP40's I have.
My tank is a 36" x 18" x 20" with no bracing and 3/8" glass by Lee Mar. The rockscape and sand bed can be seen in the photo below.
I would like to setup a 1/2" or so wave in the tank.
My questions are:
Where to put the wavemaker? (ideally I would like to put it in the left rear corner facing along the long axis pointing towards the overflow)
What would the impact be on the sandbed?
Would it work well in conjunction with one (or two) of the MP40's or would the MP40's overwhelm it (they run currently on Reef Crest but I could go another setting)?
I will be moving to a 120 gallon in the next two years. Will the Nano still do well for that size tank with very similar rockwork?
Thank you again for the assist.
NOTE: The dog gone anemone split and the new nem attached itself to my mag float and thats why you see it in a breeder box at the top. I don't normally keep anemone's that way. She is now in a good home.
And my darn blue spotted jawfish has realized that the best place to maximize his source of food is in my overflow. After going through four rounds of chasing him out only to find him back in there I finally gave in and put a piece of PVC there for him where he is as happy as a bug in a rug. So the final score is Jawfish 1 Human 0. Sigh.

Thank you. That is good to know. Do you (or anyone else for that matter) think my rock work would cause a problem if I locate it where my heater is now in the photo with it facing front? And would the rock work cause a problem with wave function? And lastly what about sand displacement?
