The LFS in town set up a plant tank with a wavebox, a 6206 on a 58 gallon. It seemed to keep it fairly clean by keeping things stirred up. I personally would not have done it because I don't think of waves in small rivers and ponds and large lakes which have waves, don't usually have much in the way of plants. Plants seem to mainly grow in spring fed small bodies of water where the incoming spring water has a lot of CO2 dissolved. I will say that they had the nicest looking Madagascar Lace Leaf I had ever seen. I think the key would be to add it and expect it will stir up a lot of debris if it is an older tank, but once this is filtered out, it will stay cleaner as a result of the wave. On the downside, with a lighter substrate like those peat pellets or with a laterite mixed in, it might not work, they were using Flourite and it was rinsed very well. I use the past tense because like most stores they redo the show tanks every few years and the tank is very different now and no longer has the wavebox. I think to summarize, it could be done, it might be just the trick to keep very fine leaf pain in the butt plants like Myrriophyllium and Madagascar Lace Leaf clean, but it could also be a nightmare to establish small plants that tend to float up and it may stir up light substartes or additives like laterite.
