Wavebox Arrival?

[rvitko]

I only know of one person using the extension, maybe he will drop in, I don't know his screen name. I know others are using it too.

Roger,

Tank dim are 82x44x30. Do you think an extension will be necessary?

 

[rvitko]

Yes. 320-350 is the only grey area.

Hey Curthendrix~ When you said your tank was being designed for the box, what is that going to do to the design?

I'm currently looking into a Wavebox for a 240g (96x24x25) but with dual overflows in the corners, I'm going to have a Tsunami going into those overflows.

Red Sea.

If your tank has eurobracing, you need a couple of inches between the bottom of the bracing and your water level since the top of the wavebox has to be out of the water for air intake. Therefore, you want your overflows designed so your water level will be low enough to allow the top of the wavebox to remain above the water's surface during a wave crest. This is only a problem when your mounting the box under bracing though!!

I was thinking of using a Wavebox as well as a manifold return. Do you think this is too much?

I am building a walk around 240 96X24X24 with one whole side (short side of course) being the overflow. Can I place the wave box right up against the overflow ? Would this affect performance ? It is a eurobraced tank.... how low do I need the regular water level to be ? Lastly, do I really need the ext. ? It is preety cost prohibitive... I plan on using two 6100 streams as well

i have pretty much the same situation as 'swell'. 7' tank will be set up as a peninsula with the overflow at one end. can the wavebox sit next to the overflow?
also, is it a bad idea to run a wavebox in a 10yr old oceanic tank. all silicon appears to be in great condition.
