I actually run a Wavebox with an external Herbie overflow on the opposite end. After much experimentation I found that the best way to keep the overflow silent is to have the overflow filled to the top of the emergency drain with just a trickle of water going down the emergency drain. If the water level is any lower the waves that the wavebox creates makes a lot of noise as they constantly wash over the edge and down into the overflow.
Tunze actually recommends a center overflow with a wavebox to minimize the effect of the waves on the draining action of the overflow.
If you were to go with the vortech, it would look even uglier than the wavebox if you had to put it on the exposed end of the tank because of the wires hanging on the OUTSIDE of the tank.

Yes thats my problem with the Vortech. I actually DON"T want the wires outside the tank! But I can have the cord go up to my canopy instead of down. Still not going to look too good though.
I think either way its going to look bad but the wavebox will be a bit easier on the eyes and also give better flow. Right now I have two ugly powerheads on that side of the tank anyways!
Sounds like I would have to go with the regular wavebox. I just though I may be able to get away with the smaller one since the tank is so shallow.
