Nano wave bo

[ruiny]

I have a 150 gal (72x18x27)
Will the nano wave box work with a 6 foot tank?
What size of wave could I expect? It can't be more than 1 inch max .5 to .75 would be perfect. Is that possible?
What kind of noise do they make?
Any tips on set up. Mostly in regards to the other powerheads in the tank?


Thanks

The 6215 (new version of fullsize wavebox) would honestly be your best bet. The Nano would probably work, but I think a .5" wave would be the absolute max and from my experience you really want a 3/4"-1.25" wave for good flow and movement.

They make a sort of darth vader breathing noise from air being drawn in and pushed out by the displacement and some pump hum, but they are not overly loud. Usually the main thing you here is the wave itself splashing.

You just want to place it aimed down the length of the tank with as few obstructions as possible and no flow aimed directly at the wavebox output.

Thanks
I think .5 inch wave is all I would be comfortable with in my tank
Well something to think about I guess
Thanks again
