How should my wave maker be for this type of rockscape? It’s a 24gal I seen some images on pintrest where the wave maker is pointing directly torwards the front about mid level of the tank on the same side mines on. I just wanna make sure everywhere is getting movement

I would put on right side about 4 to 6 inches from top of water line about 4 to 6 inches from front of tank so pushes more water to over flow

Like is your aquascape stuck to the back glass or do you have a few inches of space behind?

Up against the back

You're going to have dead spots. Possible to move it a little?

I mean, there’s some space between some rocks it’s not all flat against the back, I can’t move it around much due to lack of space lol. It’s a 24gal

Maybe remove the big left rock that has nothing on it to give you more space for flow. Your wavemaker should be half way in order to avoid it blowing off too much sand and the flow should push everything behind the rock into the front of the tank where the return nozzle will push back into to the overflow. Also get a random flow attachment for your nozzle it's a life saver

Maybe higher are you getting enough oxygen flow?
