Has anyone tried to New Tunze Wavebox yet?
 
I want one, but they would take up alot of real estate though. Too bad you couldn't hook it up externally with a hose attached to the output.

Anyone had experiences with this yet?

they also take up alot of cash! 600 bucks worth of it.

i saw this on another forum. http://www.essentialaquatics.co.uk/movies/wavebox.html it looks pretty badass. they also said that it could shorten the life of your tank by up to 20% because of the wave action. if you have a sketchy tank then i would think twice.

Do you mean the actual tank itself as in the structure? Never thought about that, although it makes sense I guess.

JL's has the wavebox right now, I took it outa the box to check it out. It would take up quite a bit of room unless you had a 100g+ tank.

I also want the new 7095 controller, but JL's hasn't gotten it in yet. I know in the states it (and the wavebox) have been on backorder for quite some time, I'm actually surprised that JLs were able to get one in.

yep the tnk itself. i guess the constant rolling motion of the current must be brutal on the seams.

tunze canada probably has a diffrent distribution that the states.

Interesting idea, but way to expensive for my blood and takes up to much realestate. Unless you have a enourmous tank, then you have to have it build taller to account for the wave.

They would be perfect for a large plywood tank...
