I think the jury is still out on what exactly is needed to take that pounding. They say that the tank life can be reduced but who knows. I am sure it depends on the tank and a lot of other factors. Most tanks last for dozens of years and the box has only been out for a little while. How could they possibly test it? So a tank that lasts for 16 years only lasts for 12 with a wave box? If that is the case I am ok with it.

It is only on during the day (Light sensor) as well so it is not a CONSTANT pounding.

the tank does have very strong euro bracing (1 1/2' thick) and the glass is 1/2 inch as well. Albert and Dennis from Gold's swear by the tank maker so I am confident.

Besides, it is a pretty amazing advance and the corals are going to love it.
