Wave Box 6212

diggidy, I think you are right. I am wondering if the extra box is a slave... meaning creating more volume in the box when added on or a separate working box minus controller? I want to see/buy one of these...
 
I have very little ability to login, I found a LAN at a cafe. I made a video at the show and you can see for yourself. Nothing comes close to what this does and yes, it is worth every penny, we worked for 2 years+ on this and it is better than I ever thought.
 
Hey Roger, Thanks for being so dedicated that even out of the country you are checking RC. Let us know when and where we can see the video... can't wait. How soon can I buy one?
 
It says that the wave box is suitable for tanks from 52 to 317 gallons, but would it work on a 60 gallon cube which is only 24" in all dimensions. I'm wondering if the tank needs to be long to benefit from the setup. That would be so awesome to have my new 60 gallon cube. I don't want to spare any expense on water movement in there.

Peace,
John H.
 
I got in the first order and expect preorders will begin for the US market when I return. One piece still is completely hand made and we need a mold for production to begin. I will put up a video/slide show of interzoo on my .mac account and hope to get permission to show you the factory so thye naysayers can see why you pay a premium. This is the last of the old world craftsmanship for aquarium technology. It starts with myself, Axel Tunze and Claude Hug prototyping a product and developing a concept. Mr Fieber runs the machine room and develops the tooling and molds and builds the prototypes. We have another engineer who draws the designs and arranges the supply and production. From there a team of 20+ women assemble the products, each one has a specialty and builds pumps, osmolators etc. They are completely hand assembled. Any electronics are built assembled and tested by Mr Michelle (pronounce Mehiele). This is a hand made product by a small family company and we have neither the means nor the interest to make 20,000. We are the innovators and every one else is an immitator. Norbert Tunze invented the powerhead in 1961. He coined the name Turbelle from the german Turbine and Libelle(dragonfly). He made the first commercially manufactured protein skimmer, the conductivity meter and developed many theoories and methods of filtration still in use today. In team with his son Axel and Claude Hug off Tunze France the Stream was invented and now the wavebox and so OK, a Hyundai looks a bit like a Mercedes but there is only one Mercedes and the one who owns knows the quality and he saved money because his $40,000 car will last 20 years and the $12,000 car will start dissintegrating in 5. You don't have to be rich to appreciate quality it is all your priorities. To even be here you need a $400 light, a $400 tank and a $400 skimmer so now there are pumps of equal class with sophisticated electronics and yes they aren't free. I don't have any unhappy customers though and so I would have to say they must be worth it once they are in the customers hand. When I hold a quality product in my hand I can feel the builders soul in the product and that is something that will never be "Made in Taiwan", that is the result of limited production craftsmanship.

OK, so back on topic. The wavebox is a hybrid stream between a 6100 and a 6200 inside a 2L comline box. The pump has a special controller and dampning system which allows the pump to be pulsed in fraction of a second intervals, you tune in wave frequency with this conroller and it will work on any size tank there is no real force to the flow, just the wave action which works just like in the ocean to sweep, lift and suspend detritus. To control wave height you tune the driver power. The extension is a slave wavebox that connects to the same controller so they work synchronously. You really will havee to see it to believe it, it can coordinate with the multicontroller and now you really can have the ocean in your home and the wavebox has one moving part so it is incredibly reliable unlike preevious surge/wave device efforts.
 
Thanks for all the great info Roger. So give me an idea what the ultimate Tunze flow solution is now for say a 180g sps tank. With the introduction of the wavebox, is it that, plus say a 6100 and a multicontroller? Just curious about how all of this integrates.
 
Hurah for Mr Tunze! That kind of craftmanship is worth the extra money. It is refreshing to see someone who is interested in creating the most inovative and high quality products possible and not just pumping out X wigets and X dollars to meet a price point and keep the money flowing. I can't wait to see my 6000's I am sure they will be like works of art. Roger would a wavebox work on a 110, its 60" x 18" x 24" Thanks for the good work.
 
It really seems like what Roger is talking about is tuning the frequency of pulses to create a Wavelike motion in your tank... The pump also seems large, yet delicate enough to work on a vast range of volumes and tank dimensions. It doesn't just have mad flow abilities, but it's also got finesse as well.

Roger, you say it can work on almost any size tank... What about a 60 gallon cube tank with 24*24*24 dimensions. It seems like the controller and new pulse drive are the real revolutions and all you have to do is dial it in to create some nice waves in the tank.

Peace,
John H.
 
Oh yeah, I am guessing that it's not possible to mount the device in a corner aimed toward another corner as that would impede the wave action?

Roger, I think the one thing you should really focus on is that no one, I mean no one can deliver the type of water motion or technology that the tunze wavebox can deliver. It's really quite incredible that you guys came up with this! A mercedes Benz is a car that you drive, but any car can do that... now the wavebox... there is really no imitation or anything on the market that competes I think.

Also another question. Can you adjust the frequency of the waves, because during the night you might want a gentler, less chaotic wave action.

Peace,
John H.
 
"you tune in wave frequency with this conroller" Ohh... now that is cool. How soon can I get my hands on one and can the extension box be added later if need be?
 
I will explain more when I can, I am beat, show is over in two hours and I'll be back in Penzberg and have some time when I recover, we'll be up until early am tearing down the booth and putting all away.
