Power Heads http://www.jlaquatics.com/category/2...owerheads.html Wave Makers http://www.jlaquatics.com/category/100/Wave+Makers.html A Wave Maker that is not a Power Head controlling device: http://www.oceansmotions.com/store/i...7caef6e4575cbc Wave Maker is a very loosely applied term for anything that creates alternating for variable speed flow in a tank. A Carlson Surge Device is another prime example.

Alternating and variable speed water flow creates a more natural environment in our tanks. There are a number of advantages to it over just having steady laminar flow from basic power heads alone. Coral tend to grow more uniform and natural looking. There are less 'dead spots': areas that receive little to no flow where detritus can build up. Also, waste should stay in suspension longer allowing the filtration system a better chance to remove it.
