Love that new Torch brother!

To your question I’d also give it some good space. Any areas you think would work with the 6 or 7 inch range?

Hey Cafe', how can I tune this to stop the wave? I do have a block of foam to try to minimize the bubbles, but the force of the waterfall just moves it. Definitely have too many micro bubbles in the display as well. Should I order more foam and wedge it in there better?

Just raise the water level so it is just 1/2" below the bottom of the "waterfall"

Sorry I didn't give more info, this is an AIO on my 75g, so pretty large for an AIO, 18"x18"x4" I think.

Just raise the water level so it is just 1/2" below the bottom of the "waterfall"
I'll raise the level and go from there.


should i be keeping the water level that high? I really don't know what it's supposed to be at I just guessed.

Yes. The rear chambers should be essentially full with only enough gradient to let the water flow correctly
