Wavebox mounts?

[46bfinGA]

I just recently bought a wavebox and an extension they come with 6200 magnets. Is one magnet mount sufficient for one box or do they need two per wavebox? My tank is 3/4" acrylic.

Also does the 7091 controller include a photo cell also with these waveboxes?

I would get two magnet mounts. The wavebox uses a 6091 controller and a photocell is included.

Supposedly the 7091 controller Im getting doesnt include a photo cell?
Is that a newer option with the controllers? I bought my setup used here on RC and he said his must be the older model that did not include a photo cell?

How much is it to buy a photo cell and can it be adapted to my controller? Does the 7095 controllers include a photocell. I may just go that route if it will work with the waveboxes. I was planning on getting either 2-6100 or 2-6200's to go with the waveboxes.


Any reason why one magnet per wavebox would not work on my tank? Will just one allow it to move around?

They have always included a photo cell as I recall but it is not an expensive part if you need a new one. It just plugs in, they cost about $15. The 7095 has a different photocell that is hardwired. The Wavebox must have the 6091, no other controller can run it. The photocell just turns it off at night which may not even be an option you want.

With just one magnet holder the wavebox rocks with the wave and will literally walk across the aquarium.
