Tunze Wavemaker?
 

Don't know if many of you have seen this yet on RC:

I'm getting sea sick just watching it....you think it would work on my 37G cube? :mrgreen:

Had not seen it yet, but I'm with you, I did get seasick from watching it. Imagine how tht would look with a canopy on the aquarium though. It seems like it moves so much water that you would have to bring the water line down significantly.

I did see that. The only real concern I have is the periodicity of the wave and duration basically. But it's a cool idea, too bad you can't tune it a bit slower. I suppose if you had a REALLY long tank that it would be a little bit better.

Amazing. I wonder how overflows would handle it however.

I believe Roger from Tunze said it can be tuned to produce smaller waves if you like.

that vid did make me feel a little queasy. I'm sure the fish feel it as well.

I was looking at those a few days ago,first time I've seen the movie though.Looks like it really puts out.The cost is about as much as a good skimmer.Its just a box that sucks in the water ,then blows it back out,kinda like the wave pool.For a large tank you can get an extention to put on the other end.

thats way cool, I wonder how much wave action I would get in my 36" tank :mrgreen:

Awesome break through in flow technology eh... Finnally good back and forth circulation. I can only imagine a tank with that and two or four 6100's on it. :eek:

So can you still use a sump with this thing? Is your overflow in the center at the fulcrum where the water height doesn't change?

I think If you made your canopy come down far enough so that you couldn't see the the water level moving it would be great. I love the look of the fish bobbing around! :lol:

One wonders how long the seams on the aquarium could take the continuous alternating lateral stresses?
