I use mine to blow poo closer to the over/underflow as there is bound to have some dead spots in the tank hence the poo tend to get stuck in those spots.

I use wave maker for the same purpose and also I will put airstone in front of the current created so that the tiny air bubbles will be blown around the whole tank. Down side is that the water will not look crystal clear due to all the micro air bubbles..

not sure if making them swim against the current will make them "exercise" more or not, them turn hungry faster.. good for pumping up size.

actually, i think it serves as a means to circulate water... otherwise, inconsistent standards of water within the tank...
