Tunze Wavebox, worth the investment?

[Chaloupa]

I have one and I love it.....you don't really notice it after it's been there
for a bit as I have mine right out in the open...definitely worth the money, and I would love to add another to the other side of the tank!

My tanks have done well without one, so until they drop below $300, I can't justify it. Currently I have a Stream 6060 and a powerhead, I get full polyp extension. One of my LFS's has one, and I think it's great, but $600 is too rich for me to make waves.

Thanks for all the replies. I knew that the wavebox was just to supplement existing flow as I already have 2 vortech pumps that serve as the main form of circulation in my tank. However, due to the directionality (more like lack of directionalilty) in which the vortechs must be pointed, I have a few low flow spots in my tank which I'd like to eliminate. By the sounds of it, most people noticed an increase in polyp extension. Has anyone noticed more uniform growth patterns or increased growth rates in sps corals after adding a wavebox?
