    Hi, I bought a 28g nano cube recently and I put 30 pounds of live rock in it. It came with a wave maker also. Yesterday I picked up two percula clowns. What setting should I have the wave maker on?

    The settings are 10,20,30,40,50,60 seconds and 2,3,4,5,6 minutes

    You have the same one I do I bet. Is it a JBJ Ocean Pulse? And it kinda depends on what you and/or the corals like if you have any corals. Its not really going to matter to the fish lol. How many powerheads and what size are they?

    You plug two controllable powerheads such as Koralia Evolutions or Sicce Voyagers in to the wavemaker and it switches them back and forth. Without powerheads it does nothing.
    I use Evolutions and switch every 30 seconds myself.
