Wavebox keeps spitting bubbles

[jt_redmist]

Hi There,
I just installed my Wavebox and it keeps spitting bubbles. It's more pronounced when at max pulse. Is it normal or is there a remedy for this?

TIA,
JT

Nevermind. I figured out the problem.

Can you let us know what the problem was and what you did to fix it so that we can learn from it? Thanks!

Oh sorry. My Wavebox came with the wrong manual, so it was a puzzle on how to put it together. Here's the problem. In the back of the wavebox there are two small screw holes. What they are for, I don't know, since I'm still waiting for Roger to send me the manual. Everytime the the wavebox would empty its box, water would come in through the two holes causing a splash. This in turn made bubbles to be sucked out through the pump into the tank. I hope this makes sense. Luckily the kit including some plastic screws that fit it, so now no more water coming through screw holes.

how big is your tank and now that you have the wavebox working, is it doing what you thought it would? I am thinking of getting one, but not sure what size wave I will be getting.

I see that you have a 120g. Mine is a 125g and it's 6ft long. It's definately making waves I can tell you that. I can't turn mine all the way up, because the waves are too much, and makes that gushing sound on the overflows. I have a mixed tank, and like how it makes the LPS sway back and forth.

Unfortunately my 120 is only 48" long, so I am not sure what type of waves it will make. From what I see from other people with similar tank size, the wavebox will only make .75" waves...is that worth it though?
