3 waveboxes on a 96x48x30?

[3z]

Roger,

I am in the planning stages of a 96x48x30 and I am interested in placing 3 waveboxes along one of the short sides of the tank. I am also planning to use 5 Tunze Streams 6200's, along with two 1" Sea Swirls. Here is an approximate placement plan.

I understand it would defeat the purpose of the wavebox to have the two 6200's on the right side turn on full force while the waveboxes are releasing; that being said, how would the return waves of the waveboxes be affected by the flow of the three 6200's and the two 1" SS? Assume the three 6200's are releasing full force for the first scenario, and assuming they are not for the second scenario?

My objective is to have flexibility with creating chaotic water flow with some back and worth wave characteristics, and not just a one dimensional back and forth wave. At the same time, I do not want to waste the capabilities of the waveboxes. Would playing around with the multicontroller with different settings be my best bet?

Just wanted to hear your thoughts since your are familiar with the features of the products.

Note: The placement of the devices are due in part for asethetic reasons since the tank will be viewable from three-sides without a canopy.

Thanks.

Apparently the plans did not come out properly in the first diagrahm.

Imagine the two:


<6200



<6200


Being at the opposite end of the tank (right side).

A tank of that size should be adequately covered by 4 6200's and two waveboxes. It is not possible to use more than two waveboxes as they have to share a controller to coordinate and function correctly and the controller only allows two.

You would want to position two wavebox on one side- one 6212 and one 6212.50 extension which is a controllerless wavebox. I would start with 2 6200 and a 7095 and add 2 more later if you need them since 2 might be enough depending on inhabitants. I would place those one on each side and use Interval II.
