New Nano wavebox!! but questions

[columbusreef]

Ok I pulled all my christmas money and got the nano wavebox!! But I have a few questions.
1 any secrets to getting the wave set right?
2 do I need any other powerheads running in the system with the box?

I have been trying to get the resonace setup for my 75gal and can't seem to find the sweet spot.

I put mine in the back corner blowing long ways with the tank. Make sure you don't have the top under the water line, turn the power all the way up on the control and the watts on the cord control - 24 volt I think it was and slowly dial the knob on the control after you let it set for about 5 minutes on each point to see your wave that you want. You also can't have anything direcly in front of it like rock and such. Good luck - I really liked mine after I got it adjusted...

Thanks Oz! I had just figures out that I had it all below the water line when I got your post. I also had the switch to 12v. Now I hae a wave!!
Do u run any other power heads? Or is the return enough with the wave?

You will be amazed by how much gunk the wave breaks loose at first but I did need to add more flow for my coral and the way my rock is arranged -the trick is adjusting the powerheads to work with the wave it's easy to do just takes tweaking. It was a big expense but I'm glad I made the purchase for the wavebox. One day I would like to by tunze power heads and controller so they all work together but that's expensive too....
