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.
