Tunze wavebox and OM 4 way

[mark0933]

Anyone have experience with a tunze wavebox in the tank and an OM 4 way on the return (or on a closed loop) with a reeflo baracuda (or dart) running about 2000GPH through the OM?

I love the OM product, and am a proponent of random flow, but am concerned that the rotating current from the OM will counteract the wave effect from the wavebox

Anyone have an opinion (or better yet first hand experience)

How big a tank?

The OM will not counteract with tunze wavebox as long as you don't have the nozzle shoot straight at the tunze wave box outlet....

It seems like theyd compliment each other. The randomness of the OM4 along with the waves would be some nice flow patterns. Id say go for it.

I run a Tunze wavebox and two 1" seaswirls pushing 1600gph in the 205 with no problems.

i'm using the hammer head 18000plh with the 4 way OM. no problem with that.
i also using two vortech to create wave for my tank. wow la.happy with the result.

Sorry the tank is a 720 (8 x 4 x 36" high)

I am putting the 2 waveboxes on one short end and the tank will be viewable from one short and one long side.

Any opinions on where to have the 4 OM returns positioned??

(I was thinking 3 along the back long side and one on the front side with a sea swirl or revolution)
