construction recommendations?

[pondfrog]

Hi Roger,
I have 3 waveboxes sitting and waiting for my tank to be built and the time has finally come.
It will be a 10' by 4' by 34" aquarium that you recommended the 3 boxes for several months ago.

As I am now getting the tank built I was curious if Tunze has any recommendations on the overflow configurations will utilizing waveboxes.
What I mean is that with the wave action the overflow is going to be sporadicly more or less based on the wave crest at that point in time. Should hte overflows be longer to compensate for this?
Should the slots be cut deeper as the 1 to 11/2 inch wave may affect the height of the water?

Does this make sense?
THanks,
Steve

It should be cut deeper and I would try to center the overflows as much as possible, in the center in a single wave configuration the water level would not change much, in a double wave it would be ideal to have two overflows at 1/3rd intervals- basically 3ft in from either end.
