Wavebox or another 6100?

[dpnshnks]

Hi, with the holidays almost here, I'm contemplating the next addition to my tank. I've got a 120g, AGA with 2 overflows in the back corners. I'm currently running a single 6100 on a multicontroller (at about 40% ) and am wondering whether I should pick up another 6100 or go for a Wavebox?

I've read that if the tank is off my more than 1/8' the Wavebox could be disaster. I live in an apartment complex on the 4'th floor and I'm quite sure 120 gallons would make it all the way down to the basement! How much added stress are we talking about with the Wavebox, because I LOVE the oscilating waves!

Thanks for the help.

The wavebox will shorten a tanks life by about 10%, figure a well made tank has a life span of 20 years, this is reduced of course if it is off level, on a poorly made stand or moved or stored for extended periods of time. Honestly I probably wouldn't buy anything as you have so much more possible with just what you have, why not try pulsing it from 30-60% every few seconds.

get a couple nano streams. I'm running a wavebox, 6100 and two nano streams on my 120
