Nano Wavebox has me nervous

[Slick Fork]

Yeah, it's all that weight moving around that's got me a little spooked. Anyone know if there's any way to tell if the stand is good or not?

Or does the stand even "feel" the movement as a sideways motion or is it just a constant redistribution of weight? I'm less worried about weight redistribution then the stand itself swaying. Any thoughts?

You got a description of your stand or better, a picture?

Here's a shot of the stand as it was going up. Pretty much the same now, but I've got a sheet of styrofoam underneath.

Holy cr*p, that's 2x4 construction. You can rock an elephant on there. If everything is level and square, you ahouldn't have any issues with the stand. I think 1 1/2 inch is a high wave and may adjust that based on what corals you're keeping. Also, that's a lot of water your tank is holding back. Just a thought, I have mine on a 72G with 1/2" wave.

I f you are too nervous just put a pale of water on top of your canopy and see if it's moving at all.
Just to mention that wave box moves water up and down on the sides mostly and a lot less left and right

Thanks for the reassurances guys, The stand is square and I've never even considered it not taking a static load.

I'll try the bucket of water trick as well, just to put my mind at ease!

I posted this question on the Tunze forum over on Reef Central as well, Rvitko responded that waveboxes had caused 2 tanks to fail but both were home-made tanks. He advised caution with the waveboxes on older tanks and unlevel stands.

that and bow fronts, but I've seen on 3 bow fronts with no problems
