Wavebox In A Bowfront?

[grimm]

I would like to install a wavebox in my Oceanic 175 gal. bowfront RR.

Would the design of the bowfront cause any problems with the function of the wavebox? The overflows are in the corners.

JLAaquatics.com has used a wavebox in a 175 gallon bowfront for the last year or so and they have had no apparent problems.

They get a nice 1/2" -1" wave. Apparently they had it rocking with a 2" wave at one time but cut it back.

They are using the recommended mfg stand though.

I am not a big fan of the wavebox on bow fronts. The wavebox stresses the seams and the seams on a bow front already seem more failure prone.

My earlier advice was based on my experience in retail, the bowfronts were brand new at that time and we saw a lot of failures. They do seem to have improved the quality but I am not positive of the long term results as I would have to believe the curve results in stress points.
