Wave2k's are here!

[skylsdale]

I've been waiting to see one of these things in action for months. The design is a bit different than I thought...I assumed it would be a wide open slot, rather than partially covered with four outlets.

Sedgro, would it be possible to see the upper half of these? I would also love to see a full tank pic. It's awesome to see your anthias and chromis sitting in the current from the wave2k's--just how they would feed in the wild!

The movie does not show.

 

[sedgro]

I am not sure what the problem is... I am re-uploading it to the server. When I open it in Quicktime from there server it says there is an error in the file. Anyone have any suggestions other than re-uploading it?

Try again:

Works for me now. Downloading it as I write this.

 

[slipknottin]

wow cool video, those really do move quite a bit of water.

 

[SaltwaterKid]

Movie is definately interesting. I just don't know if those devices are worth $240. Too bad they can't have a loaner model they can send out to people to use for a week.

Sedgro,
That is awesome!!!!!! I have never seen a real reef tank in motion. That wave2k looks like it works really good. It makes waves just like a real sea. Good for you!!! Your tank is beatiful i might add. What type of anemone is that skunk clown in? NEED MORE FOOTAGE!!!! FEED ME FOOTAGE NOW!!!!!

I must be loosing it! It seems to download but nothing plays, just a blank web page. Any help aprecieated.

 

[SaltwaterKid]

Did you try saving it to your desktop instead of playing it straight from his link? Also remember you need Quicktime to view it. Thats all i can say.

 

[Exocet]

I'm still not able to Download the video. FTP site says anonymous logins are not allowed.

Any help?

 

[SaltwaterKid]

Are you using an FTP program or something? If so, don't. Just right click on the second link he provided and do a "save target as" and save it to your desktop.

 

[BlueCorn]

Very cool but I still stand by my original response: "too muckin fuch money." My wife would have my @ss if I bought one of those.

 

[Konadog]

Got it! right click on link, save file, play file. Now if we could see both of them and a wide shot of the whole tank!

Thanks!:thumbsup:

could you show us a pic of it mounted from the outside?
how much clearanse is needed?

If this seems to be expensive, compare it to your options for providing variable water flow. This is a self-contained unit that uses very little power and does not need to plumbed. I considered Sea Swirls and decided to go with the Wave2K on my new tank with a closed loop.
