I am impressed with what the Wavebox does-looks like the closest thing to real reef water motion available. The look of the box in the tank, however, goes against what I am always striving to achieve-nothing "non-natural" visible in the tank.
Can the pump, controller and other "guts" of the wavebox be mounted in a side chamber in back of a false side wall of the tank with an appropriate sized hole and be made to function? My idea is to build a wood/fiberglass/resin construction tank to stand up to the wave action and incorporate a false side on one or both ends of the tank to serve as a "built-in" wavebox. All that would be seen from the viewing area would be the face of the pump in an opening in the false wall.
I have been toying with this general idea of a hidden side chamber housing a wave generator but I haven't worked out any of my piston, expanding bladder or paddle ideas. The wavebox may be my answer.
