Oh no no! This wave action is not to show what we want in our tanks. It just shows how the water can be viewed as one whole body. All of it moving together. And you can use these properties of the water to achieve better filtration if you point the outflow in a certain way, place the inflow precisely and so on. That's all.

I personally consider these wavy tanks super ugly. Imagine having this sloshing abomination in your living room. Very beautiful indeed. I do understand that the animals probably love it because they are used to such wave action. But it just looks really bad to me.
