Wavebox Arrival?
- Thread starter moonpod
- Start date
I think the 6200 deco rock is a dead idea. We just couldn't see a demand for more than about 50 of them per year and it just doesn't justify making them. Most people aren't so concerned with hiding them in large tanks because the tank is big enough to reduce the visibility.
When the wavebox cuts off the debris is still suspended, the Stream kicks on the second the wavebox turns off.

RGibson,
You cannot control the "speed" of the box, if you are talking about a Stream where you can adjust from 30% to 100% power. The wavebox can only be adjusted for the duration of time of the pulsing on and off. When it is on, it runs at 100%.
You need to play with the timing to find the right pulse timing for your tank, otherwise you wont have a wave like effect, it will just be random bouncing water.

Mike,
Are you going to put another Wavebox on your reef or are you satisfied with just the one?
It's interesting because when you look at the tank and stuff is going back and forth you don't really realize how much flow it is producing. I put my Streams in "Foodtimer" mode to feed the fish but left the Wavebox on. The current took the food everywhere...I had to check to make sure the Streams were off!

How does the wavebox affect your overflow, specifically the noise?

The wavebox does add some noise to your system.... more if your system was previously very quiet, and none to maybe a bit if your system was noisy to begin with.
However, it's a repetitive kind of thing that honestly does not bother me a bit, especially since I know it's benefitting my tank. The noise is mostly "white", like waves lapping at the shore (poetic, no?).

Calciumbuff,
Very nice. What is the size of your tank? Are you happy with the wavebox and water movement?

Thanks.....having a 480g built right now. Designed it to accomodate a box. Trying to decide whether to get that order placed. Figure I will probably need a box and and extension. Have you or anyone on the board heard from anyone using an extension?
