Hi I am interested in the placement of aeration + wave maker at the right spot which will do the job. Where do I place them?
And what about the small pump mount at bottom? What kind of pump and where should I place them? I am new to keeping of fishes and is also having the same problem.

Could any one post a pic of their set up in their tank? Thank you.

I had done some tweak and looks like it is working.

The drop point of the water, I turned it facing the corner of the tank, causing a downwards throw which pushes the dirt to the pump.

So far for the past few days, I don't see much dirt liao.
