Wavebox on a 72g?

[lastresort]

Will a wavebox work on a 72g.I have read that the short tanks increase the timing of the wavebox.How fast will the box run on a 72g tank.I already have a6025 and 6045 nanos,but would like more flow some sort of wave motion.If anyone has experience with a 4' tank and a wavebox I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

I have a 75G 4' tank with a wavebox installed.

it took some doing, but I finally figured out the resonance wave and get a good 1" displacement. The waveboxes work really really well once you get them dialed in right; and it may also take some rearranging of some of your rock work to get in just the right place.

have fun!

I agree with jvlz73, it works, the wave will be approx 3/4" - 1" tall but yes, it will be a bit fast.

How fast would you expect the wave to be?

 

[rvitko]

About .5 seconds. It is not a natural looking wave but the best proximation you can get.

isnt a 72G a bowfront tank...?

Yes it is, which is something I had warned against in the past but it seems that whatever flaws they had in the past have been resolved as I get too many reports of successful use in bowfronts for some years without issue.
