Wavebox ID

[MrSandman]

I acquired this wavebox through a trade and have never used it. I believe it is a 6215. The magnets to secure it to the tank also came with it.

It also came with a 6091 controller.
What pump would i need to make this work?

It doesn't look to have a pump? It is actually an older 6212, the 6215 does not have the removable bottom as the new pump is smaller and can insert from the top. As best as I can tell you would need the 6215.200 pump, 6105.240 power supply, 6215.300 foam pan. The 6091 controller will work but the current version is 7092.

Nope. No pump. Just the box, controller and magnets.
Is the 6215 pump the only one that will work? Or are there other pumps that will work if i look for a used one here on RC? This is my first Tunze product so i haven't the slightest idea about it. I'm considering replacing my MP40 with it if i can get it running without having to invest too much up front.

I don't see a cheap way to fix this up, without the pump, it is just a plastic box and a controller worth about $150 in spare parts new. The older model pumps are so old, it is likely throwing good money after bad, the 6260 was made from 2004-2007 and finding one which still runs and will run for much longer is a challenge, the 6261 was just made for 2 years before it was replaced by the 6215. I could discount the parts needed, but even then it will be 300+. A 6155 could work, but it is more expensive.
