On the parallel vs. perpendicular, that depends on the reflector design. As to why it would make a difference on the rippling, I have no idea. One tank I run parallel and one tank I run perpendicular and I have never noticed a significant difference on the rippling, however the tanks in question have different flow patterns so it wouldn't be an apples to apples comparison.
