Wavebox on an 8ft Tank

[InsaneClownFish]

I'm having my tank built rimless out of 1" acrylic and the dimensions will be 96x25x15 high(with most likely a 13inch waterline).

How high of a wave will a Tunze Wavebox(regular size) make in this tank?
Can the Wavebox be placed toward the far back end of the tank, or does it need to be centered between the 25 inch wall?

Will the 11.8 inch tall Wavebox work with a water height of 13 inches?

Is there a holder for the Wavebox that will work with 1 inch acrylic?

Thank you for your time

Who is building your tank?

You have PM...yes it is super secret stealth at this point

Just kidding!

How's your large cube been coming? Did you ever get a chance to set it up?
Not to get too off topic, but how do you like the ATB skimmer? I luv the design, but man $$$

You going to have a substrate?

I doubt you will be able to keep it in front of the wavebox with it that close to the bottom.

Nope. Was going to go BB if I had a system built. If I went with a regular old AGA 180 I would have used a DSB. I'm returning the sand because I already know it will de-sediment the entire system.

Ideally the tank would be deeper. The wavebox works better if a tank is slightly deeper- maybe 18" with 15" of water would be a better choice. To anchor the wavebox you could use the included clamps or drill and tap the acrylic near the top (drill half inch deep holes so it is not all the way through and tap a thread) then screw the mounting rails directly to the acrylic.

Roger, how high would the wave be in a tank that had the dimensions I specified- 96x25x15 with a 13" waterline?

Can you explain how exactly it would be better to do something like 18" with a 15" waterline?
What about 16" with a 14" waterline?

Will the 13" waterline with a 15"...or 15 1/4" height still work?

Also, how about placement? Can the Wavebox be in the corner front...or does it need to be in the middle?

Can the overflow be a single corner overflow, or a trapazoid overflow, on the same side of the tank? Or does the wavebox require a center overflow?

I don't want to drill the tank...will the wavebox still work with the mounting clamps on 1" acrylic?
