Making Waves ???

[breebauer]

Hello Reefers,
All these corals have outgrown Bree's tiny little nano aquarium, and something must be done.
We are about to set up a 46 gal bowfront and my wheels have been turning on how to save myself a few bucks and still do it right.
I was thinking of trying to make a wave like current by dropping a pump in the refugium that I haven't built yet, and connecting that pump to a cycle timer.
I have no idea of what I'm doing, but have been drawing up plans anyway. Another idea I had was to to hook up the pump to a float switch to set off the pump when the level in the refugium rises, and then shut off at a lower level.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Bree's clueless boyfriend Jim

Why not put a SCWD on the main return plumbed into a couple loclines? That'd give you the wave effect.
To me the idea of the float switch acting as a timer for the pump seems iffy. Plus it'd probably wear out the switch faster.
