Which Wavebox? (Or Vortech)

It sounds like you really want to do the closed loop...
sux that it might not be the most practical though.

Its not practical at all unless I take the tank down and redo the plumbing which is not an option. The closed loop would have been probably the cheapest way to go too!

Maybe for now I will just find a cheaper solution to adding more flow until I figure things out. I don't really want to spend $600-700 plus on a wavebox or two and then find out I hate how they look. I would go with two Vortechs but man...$1000 plus taxes? I don't think its worth that.

I do need to up the flow in the tank somehow until I figure out what to do.

you could construct some boxes out of some cheap, water resistant material to tunze spec and just see if it doesn't drive you crazy before you go buy the real thing....

maybe worth the little hassle to be certain.
I just meant the most practical for the flow you're looking for, not to actually do.

Yeah I could do that. I am pretty certain though I will not want a box in that end of the tank...I know myself and it will most likely drive me nuts My fiance has already said she thinks it will "kill the look of the tank" and that I better not spend $600 on something that looks so bad Being in the MIDDLE of the room, the tank is a center piece and need to look nice.

Probably should walk away from the idea at this point
