I have a tunze 6055/single controller and a nano wavebox...


The wave box stands out as one of the most rewarding purchases I have ever made for my reef.

Eliminates detritus build up and creates an unparalleled swaying motion in the tank that I would be surprised if the vortechs could duplicate.

I think the 6055 is more comparable to the vortechs though the vortechs seem to offer more versatility over the Tunze's power/pulse adjustability.

Even with a single MP40W on my 6' I can still get a wave going, just have to set it properly using short/ long pulse mode. I was going to purchase a wave box until I saw this effect in person.

hmmm...
can you post a video?

I haven't seen an adequate wave (compared to the wavebox') from a vortech yet...

I played around with an mp40 on my friends 60 gallon for like an hour but couldn't figure it out...

It took me a little tweeking also, when I get home tonight I will try and do up a movie for you. Personally for me it was setting it to the long pulse mode and finding the exact power/ delay.

Tunzee would be my second in line though, I loved the one pump I used but they are a little bulky.

cool.
I'd try one out if I knew it was really that versatile....

How high would you say the wave is?

With my wave box, I get about a 1" wave with all my other flow on.

it's more like 1+1/2" with just the wave box on though...

50"X24"X18" tank...
