creating a wave with tunzes

[ganjero]

Few q's
Can you create a wave with 2 6101/7095 in 5ft tank 100g? or do I need a wavebox?
can you control all 4 pumps independently with the 7095?
if I have 2 tunzes 6101 creating random flow, will that ruin the wave from a wavebox or will it work fine?
Thanks

Hello Ganjero,
Can you create a wave with 2 6101/7095 in 5ft tank 100g? or do I need a wavebox?

You can create some wave with the two pump but not much and not real like the wavebox

can you control all 4 pumps independently with the 7095?

Yes, you can control each pump independently with the multi controller

f I have 2 tunzes 6101 creating random flow, will that ruin the wave from a wavebox or will it work fine?

It will work fine with the two stream.

I was reading the manual for the multi-controller and it seems that it only has 2 channels. So the 2 pumps on channel one will will do the same, and the same for channel 2, is that right? or how do I control each pump individually?

Ganjero, The 7095 has two channel 1a, 1b and 2a, 2b. If you want the two pump to run in different interval, you will hook up the pump one on each channel.

OK i hooked up the tunzes today and they cant be controlled individually. pump 1a and 1b will do the same, and 2a and 2b will also do the same.
Unless Im doing something wrong, the answer you gave saying that each pump can be controlled individually is not true.

What do you mean by control it individually? You can set it to have 1 pump running while the other is off and rotate or you can tune it to have 1 run at 30% and the other doing 100%...

But if you have 4 pumps, it cant be done. That was my question.BTW will having the pumps running on intervals turning on and off wear the parts faster??

Is the wavebox always noisy like the ones one the videos around the net? The noise Im referring to is the water overflow making sound like a toilet.

Ganjero, you can run your streams on sequential and each pump will start separately. On/Off interval require more cleaning due to Ca build-up but it doesn't wear out the pump faster.

The wavebox making noise because the person did not adjust his water level inside the overflow properly.

So the wavebox can run silently?

Yes sir....
