Wavebox vs Stream

[BruceC]

I have a 300 gal tank with 2 returns on the back of the tank. The tank is 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, 2.5 feet deep. I have a combination of corals, soft, LPS, SPS. Mostly SPS. Would my tank benefit from a wavebox, turbelle stream or both? Also where is the best position in the tank for each.

The wavebox is a nice addition to flow but it is a directionless rocking flow that cannot solve all flow problems. What it does that no other flow source does is 100% eliminate dead spots and lift and suspend detritus but a directional flow like Streams is required in addition.

Can a wavebox be mounted with magnet holders. My tank has a 5 inch lip around the entire top. Also where is the best spot to place a wavebox and where do you recommend placing the streams

Yes, the wavebox would have to be installed with magnet holders in this case.

The wavebox has to go on a tank end. The Streams would go in each back corner and be angled to the front center.
