The newest additions.

First a Goby. Not named yet but I think we have narrowed it down to a few.



And...A Copperband from a member here (Johncody). I wasn't going to try another until I found one that I was more certain was not cyanide caught but when he told me hes had it for a while and its eating well, I couldn't resist. It really is a healthy fish. Eats Nori even! Very friendly little guy. He was nipping my hand last night when I was moving things around in the tank

Hahaha....yeah its just a wave from the wavebox. Man that would suck if the best I could do with leveling the stand was that. Actually it would suck even more if my floors sloped that much!

I am getting about a 1.5" wave right now.

I actually got it up to about 2" but felt that was a little too big...yes I know how that sounds

Eats nori even! Wow, awesome!

And that's a freakish wave dude, serious wow, what can I say, man it looks awesome. Does the wave get any interference from the other powerheads?

Nah, thats the cool thing, they don't effect the wave at all. Nothing does. LOL. Its huge!

As the wave lowers the water level, the flow from powerheads on the low side, break the surface (ripple) and then when it goes back up, they don't break the surface at all. Kind of cool. But the wave box doesn't effect them at all and they don't effect the wave box.

The wave is actually MUCh bigger on this bigger tank than my older, smaller tank. It seems like maybe it just has much more time to "ramp" up and really gain energy. From what I have heard, these waveboxes work even better on an 8' tank!

Looked smaller than 1" from the pictures, but you should be good with 1".

That is some awesome wave action, are you getting a lot of noise from the waves cresting into the overflow?

I think it may actually be 3/4" inside diameter though. Either way, I am happy with it.

No sound at all. Doesn't effect the overflow.
