Tunze Wavebox vs. Wavebox Nano Advice. Thanks!!

[verbatim21]

So.. Finally getting serious about getting a wavemaker. I currently have a 60 gal tank but am planning to go to a 120 in the semi near future. I did the comparisons between getting a Vortec and a Tunze Wavebox and am pretty set on a Wavebox.

Anyways.. I can get a New nano Wavebox for about the same price as a 1 yr old reg Wavebox. My questions are.. How long can I expect a wavebox to last? And Would you go for the new nano wavebox vs the used reg wavebox (considering both are rated for at least 120 gal)? And do you think a reg wavebox would be way too much movement for a 60 gal?

Thanks in advance for any responses, I really appreciate any feedback. Looking to make moves on this sometime this week.

Thanks,
Brian

The nano would actually likely be a better choice for the current tank. Anything under 4' the larger wavebox does not work well on as cannot pulse fast enough. As for the 120 if it is a standard 4' tank, the larger one will make a slightly larger wave than the nano but not by alot and the nano will do just fine and is hard to justify the cost and size increase IMO.

I agree with Shawn.
