wave maker

hi

is it possible/advisable to use a wave maker pump (typically used in marine setups) in a large planted tank to improve water circulation?

pls advise.
thanks

I find a powerhead (i use one with 1,000l/h turnover for my 250 litre tank) is good enough.

If you already have one wavemaker sitting idle, I think it will do no harm using it. Well, if you intend to buy one for the purpose of circulation, like Budak said, you might not need that.

thanks for the info.
guess i'll save the $ and just use a powerhead.

cheers
