Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - Wavemakers with 9002 skimmer and Osmolator

Wondering if adding a wave making device to a tank with no sump, so skimmer and osmolator are in-tank, will really screw with functionality of the skimmer.

The osmolator I could run at night when the wavemaker is in night mode so that would prevent the wavy surface from affecting things too much.

But would the skimmer be totally thrown off with the wave action? Even if waves remained below the max water mark?

Thanks for any thoughts.
