My Fish Street Wavebox Experience

[Bcollins111900]

Over the past few moths I have been kicking around the idea of purchasing a wavebox for my 220 Gallon tank. I managed to narrow it down to Tunze & Fish Street. I quickly ruled out vortech's & koralias as I dont care there appearence and needing multiple of each to acheive the effect I wanted. I was going to buy a new tunze wavebox but I will admit it was hard to swallow a $600 plus price tag plus magnets. I considered a used tunze wavebox but most I found had been used for some time and no warranty so I purchased the Fish Street Wavebox (new) on ebay. I will say I am IN LOVE with this wave box. I puchased a tunze magnet to use on it as I wanted to achieve a less cluttered look with the mounting brackets. I have the wavebox setup to pulse every 2 seconds for 1 second. This has created a very nice 1 1/2" wave in my tank. The coral & fish really seem to love it. I know I have had the wavebox for a few days now and time will tell but I personally would recommend the fish street wavebox to anyone and it is half the price of a new tunze.

do you have a video of it on your tank?

Yea, a video would be really sweet, or just pics.

Guessing it's the Single model, not twin? Is your 220 6' or 8'?

I will take a video of it tomorrow night and upload it. It is a 6ft tank and it is the single model. Thing really kicks butt!

is it noisey

I have taken the video but you tube is not liking that I took it in 780P with 60 frames a second so.... once it is done loading I will post it. It does hum a little while the pump is on but it does not bother me.

Ok for some reason the videodid not upload to you tube in HD... why who knows but you get the idea...

Ok now it is available in HD... I had to turn the lights back on to make this video so I appologize for poor polyp extention but you can see the wave that is created in the tank.

I bought one in Bangkok, but struggled getting even a tiny wave. It has a 24v power supply with a timing unit. I tried almost every setting, but nothing. How do you pulse it every 2 sec for 1 sec?

 

[Bcollins111900]

zaheda is it a fish street wavebox as well?

 

[zaheda]

Nope, not a Fish Street, but they all similar design. I think all the time using it was just pulsing the pump, the water in the box not moving up and down. Like you say you pulsing it every 2 sec for 1 sec. I think im not getting to get the pump on and off, just pulsing it.
