I run one in my 135 and I think it's pretty cool. On the "worth the money" part... I don't know. They are expensive and I think that it is less important that a good skimmer, Calcium reactor ect...
I like the look but I would spend the money on more important things first. Also, if you don't have a 6 foot tank, don't waste your money. The device works by hitting the resonance frequency of the tank. That's how it gets a nice wave whithout using alot of power. The longer the tank, the bigger the wave. It's nice to see coral polyps swaying back and forth on the far side of the tank but I think it should be considered a luxury, not a neccesity. Garrick.

I agree that other equipment should take priority, such as a good protein skimmer and calcium recator, but once those items have been "accumulated", the wavebox is a decent approach to the issue of water circulation...there are many options and solutions to water flow, but for an out of the box solution without a plumbing investment, I feel it is good value...just make sure you mount it properly (strongly consider the magnets)...it makes a hell of a mess if the suction cup fails and it shoots water all over the room (while one is at work, shorting out a power bar and causing what looks like a small electrical fire)
...and I definitely agree and believe that it is likely better suited to 6 foot plus tanks...I tried it on my 90 (4 foot) and it works much better on the 180...

Awesome wave action produced in the display tank at J&L's.
I think it would be really worth it for those who want an eazy solution to water movement, and want to stay away from drill tanks, closed loops, powerheads, plumbing, etc.

Just bought one myself , the wave looks cool
 The one in the J&L display is a good seller as, they told me that since they set up the wave box in the display they sell every wave box they bring in ,in fact they have a waiting list

movement
For those who have it, is the water movement enough for the whole tank?
