New 225 Setup with Aquascaping Focus

Cool idea with the high point sticking right out of the water. You could try to plant mangroves on them.

BTW

You mean it is going to be slick, like the Oilers.

I can think of a couple of things that the Oilers are slick like!

Will the wavebox be very effective in the corner behind the rocks?

[andrewsk]

From what I have read, the Wavebox will work fine from the corner even if there a rocks near it. I guess it has more to do with the sonic resonance of the tank than actually pushing water. As long as it is pointing down the length of the tank, it should work fine.

I was reading about an experiment where the wave box can actually run from outside of the tank in a small glass box attached to the side of the tank with only one small hole. Ill try to find the link. It is pretty neat.

We will see though. Ill report my findings here and let you know. Worst case is I have to move the rock out an inch or two.

My wavebox is also behind rocks with only 12" of space on front of it. I get 1" wave.

Looks good, my only critisism is that with only 24" hight you wont get the effect you are looking for with the low and high points on the right. But i could be wrong, ill keep watching and see.

I agree with the 24 height but the 30 deep was WAY more important to me as I want the illusion of open water more than height.

That said, I could have gone 72x30x30 but then I would need more powerful bulbs and longer arms

I can still get the low and high points this way and it should be more gradual.

We will see.

I'm going to second the comment about Fudge's work. It is simply AMAZING.
