Nano Wavebox & Stream 2 6105 THEY'RE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

[LarryW]

the video game was for perspective, oh and it's pretty slick too.

 

[LarryW]

I am trying to tune mine, but I am not sure about the placement. This is in a 120 oceanic with a center overflow. I have it in the back corner, and I can seem to get the same kind of action I have seen. here is a video showing you what I have so far.

Just take it slow Larry. I figure you would be here this morning asking question. Let me know if you need any help or you can do with Chris did (Call me )

 

[LarryW]

Thanks Steve. I talked to chris yesterday, and I am playing with it again this morning. I have gotten to a true wave right now, so I think I am going in the right direction.

 

[LarryW]

I have gotten to the double wave point, but its not very high, and as I slowly move the dial higher, it dies. I moved the box up out of the water a little higher, but it's seemed to make it worse....

What I forgot to ask, Larry which voltage setting are you using?

 

[LarryW]

I didn't change voltage.

 

[LarryW]

here's where I am right now.

[Stevenx2]

What happens if you pump up the voltage a bit on yours?

 

[LarryW]

I am not sure how to do that.

 

[Stevenx2]

There's a slide switch on the bottom side of the power supply. Try it out and tell me how much it effects the size of the wave in your tank. Manual page 41.

 

[LarryW]

hmmm. ok i will do it when I get home.

Jar Head - Great video!

Some quick questions

1. On Video #1 - can you get the same type of "wavebox" wave action on 1 new tunze? or do you need atleast 2 pumps to make this happen?

2. Is there a lot of swooshing and gurgling sound coming from all the waves? I can't imagine how the water is going down the overflow.

Thanks,

Stevenx2, your wave should look like this. but smaller wave....



Here is the wave with 4 tunze stream 6201 running

Good morning Fernando,

1. On Video #1 - can you get the same type of "wavebox" wave action on 1 new tunze? or do you need atleast 2 pumps to make this happen?

I don't think tunze will incorporate the new pump (stream 2) into the wavebox any time soon. For your information, i am running 4 wavebox pumps in that tank. It is 96x48x24... You can get away with 2 wavebox for that size tank but impossible with 1 wavebox.


2. Is there a lot of swooshing and gurgling sound coming from all the waves? I can't imagine how the water is going down the overflow.

The gurgling in the first video because the tank wasn't full and the overflow has not been plumb yet.

On the second video i fix the noise by raising the durso pipe a bit... I kinda like the sound of the wavebox.

Hi Steve

I guess what I was referring to on my #1 question was - if you use the new streams (and remove the wave box entirely) - will you be able to recreate the "wave". Does the controller have the ability to do that for you? Or for you to create that type of movement, you need a wavebox.

Sorry. Hope that made sense.

 

[Jar*Head]

Good morning Fernando, you will need an actual wavebox to create the same type of wave. I have try to make wave with the stream but it doesn't work the same....

 

[LuisC]

Damn that is pretty sweet. My next tank will defnitely have this setup.

 

[LarryW]

i set the voltage to 18v, and I am pretty happy with the result.

here's the latest video

Clownreef, it will work... How high is your water level?
