I have seen them and agree but if you saw my tank, you would understand

It would have to go where the tank sticks out into the living room and that side of the tank has no LR really or anything. Its a open sandy area. It would be quite noticeable I thought that since I have powerheads anyways, maybe it wouldn't be a big deal but I measured and its big for that space. At least with the powerheads, they can stay just closer to the surface and are not as noticeable. The tank is quite shallow, so the wave box will look even bigger.

The regular one will look massive in that side of the tank. I just think it maybe defeats the purpose of having a peninsula tank with a box on the end.

I think in the end, a closed loop would have been the way to go. The tank is actually drilled for one and the intake is just capped but it would be a big deal I think to plumb it with the tank already full Too risky for me anyways since the intake is on the bottom of the tank.
