![]() This is just due to basic physics - the wavebox is pushing back on the glass with the same force as it is pushing water forward obviously, and it does this with a continuous, rythmic motion for several years. Long story short, the wavebox does stress the joints a little bit with its pulsing motion. also said any one that would try that needs to have a water clean up mess.I believe that the wavebox is perfectly safe for a well manufactured tank and I researched this quite a bit before I bought one myself. at Oceanic and they said it could only be a factor if you wanted the wave to move from front to back. as for bow tanks Alan at J&L said he called a rep. Some what Untrue, this would only be true if you had a cheap tank of poor quality. It is hard on tank, I think they say 10% reduction in tank "life" due to stress on joints from so much water movement. The wavebox will produce different waves on each tank it is put on. The shorter the tank, the faster the frequency. Different tanks are going to act differently because of the different frequencies the wavebox is going to setup in the tank. is 3/4 inch up and down at one end You might not be getting 1.5" but that doesn't mean it isn't possible, so I wouldn't say it is untrue. Untrue,I have a 215gallon /72inch tank and the wave at max. Your water volume will surge back and forth so much, 1.5" difference from the waves. ![]() And way more room than a closed loop manifold. As for realestate, The box takes up more room than 2 streams or 2 Seio's. Any closed loop wave maker are expensive IE: Oceanmotion, Redsea wave controller/power heads, Tunze streams/multicontroller, what ever?, check out the prices, as for real estate, take a look what tunze streams or a bunch of power heads take up for room in a tank $500 is a lot compared to say a closed loop running a Barracuda pump for half the price. They are expensive, and take up a good amount of real estate in the tank. For water direction, it would be best to run two of them in opposite corners pointing towards the front center of the tank for best results. It moves all the water in the direction the wave box is pointing, usually from end to end I mean it creates water movement throughout your entire tank, you won't have any dead spots. In fact they are back orderred!īasic consensus seemed to be that it moves a WHOLE lot of water for you, all throughout your tank nicely. that 155gallon is a great display and a great advertisement for the wave box ,as J&L have sold lots of units since the display has been up. I have seen the one at J&L in Vancouver, looked awesome in action ! I have seen the one at J&L ,and this statment is TRUE! looks awesome. Untrue, a wave box is effective on any tank, but if your tank is long enough to produce a double wave, or "build", it only looks cooler!! They are most effective on longer tanks where the waves can "build". also said any one that would try that needs to have a water clean up mess.lol Any closed loop wave maker are expensive IE: Oceanmotion, Redsea wave controller/power heads, Tunze streams/multicontroller, what ever?, check out the prices, as for real estate, take a look what tunze streams or a bunch of power heads take up for room in a tank It moves all the water in the direction the wave box is pointing, usually from end to end Trueīasic consensus seemed to be that it moves a WHOLE lot of water for you, all throughout your tank nicely. There was a thread about 2 weeks ago on this. IN NO WAY AM I TRYING TO SLAM, TheReefGeek, but
