the wave-making pump run a day? The wave-making pump runs about four hours a day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. If it is a more advanced wave pump, with its own light effect, it will automatically reduce the flow at night, so it is no problem to open 24 hours. The main function of this equipment is to lift water, which can enhance the effect of filtration and help to maintain water quality. But not all fish tanks need it, and there are side effects if you don't use it well.
of wave-making pumps? 1. Affect growth: wave-making pumps are not beneficial to all fish. Although fish need to move, many small fish can't stand too much water flow. They are always in a state of high-speed swimming and even make fish tired to death. Therefore, only fish tanks with big fish will be equipped with such equipment. Small fish are not used in tanks, because most small fish prefer slow or still water, and the increased flow of filtration is enough without additional help.
2. Turbid water body: Although the wave-making pump has an auxiliary effect on filtration most of the time, if the two do not match, the effect will be diametrically opposite. The wave-making pump keeps raising dirt, which will not flow away with the filtered water flow, but will be scattered everywhere in the fish tank, thus yellowing the original clean water body. There will even be some turbidity, so the wave pump must be adapted to the filter, do not blindly choose high-power.
