Wavebox Recommendation

I have a 180g 6x2x2 mixed reef with a lot of swim space. It is set up with 3 individual "islands" of rock" but I still feel like I could benefit from a wavebox to agitate all of the particles that could be trapped in the rock.

Would a Tunze Comline Wavebox 6208 do a good job at achieving this? My sump's return is a Magdrive 18 split onto each side of the tank but I have a few powerheads in the tank that will be able to drive all of the particulate to the overflow box.

I know the rating is up to 210g but wanted to see if you think it'd be pushing it..

You should be able to get a nice .75" (or maybe more) standing wave with the 6208 Wavebox. The fact that you have a lot of open space will work to your advantage.

I forgot to mention that I have an overflow box in the back left corner of the aquarium. The dimensions of this are 10"x3"10". (Eshopps PF-1200).

Would this be a problem with the operation?

You would need to position the wavebox so the output has a clear shot down the full length of the tank for the best wave. The only other issue the overflow will cause is the wave will lose some height from spilling over and their will be some splash noise as a result of that spill over.
