waveless box

[zimby]

Hi

I've setup a wavebox and cannot seem to get a wave or the correct frequency, this might have something to do with my setup

is my journal, can some-one please let me know if i'm doing something wrong with the potentiometer or is the tank wrong for it.

Cheers

Zim

I am not a member of that site so I cannot see your setup. Does the box have a clear line of sight in front of it? Also one thing I have found is that when you adjust the frequency it needs TINY adjustments. If ou can see yourself moving the dial it is almost too much at a time and you can pass the sweet spot

You should be able to get a big wave with that size of tank. Something to look for.

Make sure the path is clear (as mentioned above)
Make sure the blue sponge on the motor block, instead of the intake screen.
Make sure the solid part on your screen is facing down.
You can cover the two holes in the back of your wavebox via the blastic screws that came with your bracket mounting kit (i heard it help )
Lastly, make small adjustment, observe for a min or so then make another small adjustment.

I was worried that the water lvl was too high, or that the overflow might be effecting it.

Look like your haven't max it out yet . IMO, your water level high. If you can lower your water level by chop the durso a little shorter or use smaller size return pump or open the gap on your overflow teeth. You will see how big of a wave you will get . Is your tank made by Glass Cages ?
