Nano Wavebox Question

I saw a wavebox in action at the LFS and was really taken by it.
I am thinking of getting a nano version, however before buying it I got a few question.
My current display is a All Glass 72G Bow Front. It uses a HOB overflow box (Marineland SOS). The slots are about 1" in length. The current water level is about 1/8" below the top of the slot.
I am wondering would a nano work with this setup...e.g. with wave action and still enough water going into the overlfow box.
The other thing is if possible I would like to postion the flow front to back (right beside the overflow at the left hand back corner)...however since it is a bow front the side is very narrow 11-1/2" again would that be an issue....
Thanks.
 
Hello Duce, the nano wavebox will work on your tank, make sure the HOB overflow box is at the center of the tank. You can mount the box from the back facing the front at the left or right corner but not next to the overflow.
 
Thanks Steve.
If moving the HOB overflow to the centre is not an option (maintenance, plumbing, center brace, etc) would it still work if I mount the wavebox length wise?
 
Depend how much you can adjust the overflow box. The center of the tank water level won't change if you have the wave going. If the wave going too low, the overflow box may break the siphon...
