Opinions on waveboxes from you equipment gurus

[stlouisguy]

On my tank I currently have 2 x 6100 and 2 x 6200 tunzes. The 6200's are in the front of the tank, and the 6100's are on either side of my overflow box

My question is do you think my tank would benefit to the extent to justify the cost of putting two waveboxes where the 6100's are, on either side of the overflow?

Here is a pic

No they will not do much for you.

Thanks Mark, appreciate the honesty.

A couple more streams will not hurt

LOL thats what I am trying to figure out. I want to get a bit more flow into the tank, but with the 1 1/4 " sides the magnets are worthless. I am thinking a closed loop, but dont want to go to the trouble of tearing the tank down. If I could figure out how to put a few more water turners in, I would. Maybe I could up the return pump, have a hammerhead now, but the tank is rated for up to 7000 gph.

Was considering splitting the line from the sump to the hammerhead into dual hammerheads, and putting 4 more return pipes into the tank, maybe on a 4 way thing

Just thoughts. Need to get the frag tank up first

I talked to Griss when he had the tank and he was told by Roger (tunze) that the tank needed 4 wave boxes to be effective.
