Hmm...I haven't looked at the YouTube vids yet. I didn't think the VorTech would be able to make a decent wave. I will go look now that you've mentioned it, thanks!

You want to see a Vortech make a wave... Check this video.

Good vid Jdigital, but i wonder what it would be like in a real reef. After talking to tunze yesterday, and a little experimentation with my wavebox, i dicovered that an overflow really kills the wave, with my return pump off, my wave is insane in my tank, really nice to see. With the return on its kind of blah. I wonder if it would be any different with the vortech? Ot has anything to do with the positioning of the overflow. ie; if it is a center over flow it would be better. My overflow is a single corner overflow.

My overflow is a single corner aswell.... I put the wavebox in the front corner of my cube and this caused the wave to run from the front corner where the wavebox is to the opposite rear corner.... In turn the water level at the corner overflow is not affected.
