500g with Wavebox

[Bricky]

Roger,

I am working on the plans for a 500g+ SPS dominated tank. The dimensions are looking like they will be 104" x 48" x 26" and viewed three-sided. The overflow will be on one end with a 6100 on each side and a closed loop manifold running each side length ways. I am wondering where would be the best place for the wavebox? Do I put it on either side of the overflow or in the middle of the overflow? Do you think I will need the extension?

You would have to have an extension on a tank that large. It should work on either end but be aware their will be issues, the overflow will be loud and if you have a high flow you will have trouble with the overflow emptying before the wave comes back, at the trough of the wave no water will enter the overflow. I think 2 6200 is better for such a large tank for SPS.
