Wavebox in a corner

[wrang]

Is it possible to have a wavebox in the back of the tank instead of the side.
I have a AquaMedic percula 90 tank and have a place over at the back.
So is it possible to put a 90 PVC pipe to the wavebox and get the same wave effects??

Se my picture

best regards

I am not sure but I can tell you with the low pressure flow of the pump an elbow will greatly reduce the performance so the wave would be very small if it worked.

I seen a wavebox in a LFS on a 180G tank, he had the box in the back righthand corner without any elbows or anything and got a pretty impressive wave. He did howevre have a stream on the other end of the tank.

ReefExotics.com has this demo on its website. its small but if you look closely you'd see the wavebox in the back corner.

I still have to go to the LFS to get you the video.

Can someone els help me if it´s working to have the wavebox in a corner and have the outflow 90 to the left

Whats your thought about this?

It will not work very well, the 90 degree elbow will greatly reduce the flow, the added head pressure is too much.
