wavebox in a cube?

[JustinS]

I have a 42"X46"X20" "cube-ish" tank. Would a wave box produce anything in this tank? Im mostly just trying to get the polyps to sway, get debris out of the rocks and to eliminate deadspots.
Thanks

Yes, Jar*Head did it in a 48" cube but it required an extension to get a wave. It can be done and I would ask him for details.

If you use the wavebox and extension, your tank will look like this

Wow! Thanks for the posting the video. That would be really nice. Out of curiosity, did you try it with one wavebox? My tank is only viewable from the front so I set up with a central valley. The boxes in the corners would be behind rocks, which from what I read will not work. I was thinking one box in the center of the back I also dont know if I could justify 1k for a wave, it was hard enough to justify $500. I guess I need to track down someone who has one and isnt using it at the moment to try it out.

You can have 1 wavebox along the back behind the rock as long as there is no rock interfere with the flow and 1 box in the front. I have try 1 box in the tank before and only half of the tank has wave while the other half look funny like (after shock). You can purchase the box used only for $400-$425.

If you are local to me i would let your borrow mine. I have 4 ...
