So I'm a Tunze guy now =)



The package I bought includes:

- wavebox and wavebox extension
- 1 x6101
- 2 x 6100
- 7095 multicontroller
- 2 x tunze rocks

I had some fun with the wavebox with the tank not circulating. I was only able to hook up one of the waveboxes due to me breaking the little 24V jumper on the transformer for the extension when I was cleaning and checking everything. I've ordered a new jumper.

The problem was when I turned my return pump on! The water level rises too high and there isn't enough clearance on the top of the waveboxes to allow for proper functions. A real bummer as I was looking forward to trying waves for a while.

I'll be selling both units once my new 24V jumper arrives. If anyone is interested please let me know. Both boxes are less than a year old according to the original seller and the pumps both run perfectly.

I'm also selling the rocks I think. I'll figure out what I'm keeping after the mounting clips for the streams arrive.

So the puzzle is getting REALLY close to done now!

Just curious why you didn't go for the 7096 controller?... More features and about half the price. Plus it's got USB to program it...

Nice stuff none the less!

Seller was unwilling to part out

tunze is the best!

I'm loving playing around with these things. The streams are very loud in the rocks but it's rock on barebottom. I'll have to test them out with sand. The stream on the back wall is near silent I am really amazed. Now I'm thinking of placing the two on the back wall in the traditional spits but unsure where and how to place the third. In a rock blowing along theback might be sweet.

Still heartbroken about the waveboxes not working in the tank tho. I recall reading that the pumps in them are actually 6201 streams if you swap one thing out.

How much clearance do you need with the return pump going? I have the tunze magnets on my wavebox and I find if you put them on and carefully move them up the tank, you can get that little bit of an extra shove to get the wavebox the right clearance above the water. Currently the water level is just below the top of the wavebox (the top grate that slides across the top of the box is just barely out of the water) and mine works fine. You may want to give that a try if you haven't already.
