Wavebox causing bubbles

[Bebo77]

i set up my wave box according to the instructions but i am getting lots of micro bubbles every time the pump pushes the water out.. what can i do to fix this..

water level is on the blue line when the wavebox is not on.

Thanks

Gabriel

Are you getting a wave or just random chaos? It sounds like your frequency is set very low. The long pump on sequences can empty the box.

I am getting a nice 3/4 " to 1" wave, it sends out a wave every 2-3 seconds..


do i need to make it run faster?


if i get the extension will that double my wave.. my tank is 98l 30w 26t

The extension would double the wave, I think the wave should be bigger though. Does it crest on one end and trough on the other? it should look like a big see/saw

yup thats exactly what i get.. but bubbles shoot out with every shot of the wave box.. i can t figure out why?

on the opposite end of the tank i get a real nice high and low.. at least an inch difference between the two.

Is the location of the wave pulse correct? what can i do to eliminate the bubbles....

thanks again...

Their is no way for me to know if it is set correct because the controllers vary, if you get a wave it is correct. It sounds like the pulse is just so long that the box is emptying. The solution is to open the box and turn the cover of the pump so the solid portion faces up.

Gabriel,

Are you using the magnets with your Wavebox? If so, make sure you install the 2 screws into the threaded holes on the backside of the box. If left unplugged, water streams into the Wavebox and creates micro-bubbles.

hth,
