Wavemaker in a 1/4 round tank???

[fkshiu]

Flow (and lighting) a quarter round tank is really difficult to get right.

The Tunze nanowavebox is meant for SUPPLEMENTAL flow only. In any event, the waveboxes were designed to use the harmonics of a rectangular tank so I'm not sure it would even work on a quarter round tank.

I've used the Red Sea Wavemaker before with maxijets and it is very hard on powerheads over time. You'd here them rattle fairly regularly on start up. I've read that some who use it with hydors get the same issues.

If you can swing it, tunze nano 6055s would be a good choice as steve mentioned. Having two in there with a single controller won't be outrageously expensive.

The cheapest way would be modded sureflow maxijets.

BTW, the only pumps I've seen that can truly make polyps sway gently are the Tunze Waveboxes and the ecotech vortechs on a certain setting.

Maybe I should just quit dreaming, and Save up for a 210g LOL

You can run Koralia's off of seio wavemakers. They're about $100 less retail than Hydor's and because they only increase/decrease the current (don't turn it off completely) it's fine for the Koralias

Here's a good product thats quite cheap. I've run one on my 50 cube and it works not bad. Not anything like a Tunze system but a heck of a lot more affordable.

I had one of those things briefly. Worked well for the price, but it would gum up pretty quickly and it cut down on head pressure by quite a bit so you'd need a pretty big pump for a tank of the OP's size. The only way you can control the switching action is with the pump itself: the more pressure, the faster the switching.

Mine is set up on a closed loop system with a 1000 gph pump. I do have to clean it every couple of months but then everything in my aquarium needs cleaning about then.
