Problem with sand movement from powerhead! Also another question about wavemakers.

1. My Rio32HP is blasting water into the tunnels of my aquascaping and the tunnels turn the flow around and push sand (not like a little like a even 5" to a 2" and 8" spread) towards itself and reveals the PVC framework i made. I am planing on getting differnt powerheads. What would you suggest for a 125g tank?
2. I want to get a wavemaker for my 125g. What brand should i get and what is a good GPH?

I have a 125 and had 2 maxi jets 1200 and 2 maxi jets 900. one wave2k creates more flow than all of those powerheads with less disturbance

ok . First sign guy how did you get the wave2k to fit? My tank is 18" tall with a 5" sand bed. How did you get yours to fit?

two seio 2600's or 1500's with the seio control- freak'n awesome water movement, wide dispersal pattern, no single small strong stream like the maxi's. I have two 1500's in an sps 75 gal tank with arund 50x over all flow and I would never want to use anything else again.

I love my Seio's. I've got 2 M2600's in the corners and 1 M820 in the center of my 210 gallon. Best powerheads I've ever used.
