Wavebox, good or bad?

[monocus]

been running my wave box for 5 years on my 220.no problems at all.you can see the sea snow move around the tank.i picked mine up on e-bay for $220 from waterkei.outflow head is sitting about 10 inches below the surface and it is hidden by rockwork.it might be the reason i can keep carnations and seafans for years-with them spreading

Which is what I'm trying to do, right now it all settles out and looks like crap.

Ok, update. Surf's up in the tank, but it's not going over the edges. My old Tunze 6100 with the failing clip finally broke loose with the action, so I've re-arranged my sand a bit (a lot). Zap straps to the rescue, it's good for another 10 years. Let's hope this new wave doesn't break anything.

For those with Tunze and Apex controllers, it's pretty easy to get a wave without the box.

What type of Apex controller is the cheapest can I get for my Tunzes ?

No idea. Check J&L site for their options.

Thanks Kevin, but it's the pump housing, not the clip. I bought new ones last year, and they work ok, but with the thrashing of the new profile, they don't hold.
