Oh after waiting months I now have some money wave action happening in my tank. I just set up 4 Tunze 6055's on my Profilux. It took me a little while to get things set right but I am getting a nice flow now. I went with smaller power heads instead of big ones as I could hide them better and also even out the flow and have less dead spots. Anyways just thought I would take a break from the head ache I was getting from the sponsor poll thing and share my good news..

how did you set up the time, etc. to get waves going? I'm debating wave box vs. multiple powerheads... the whole notion that a wavebox can "break" a tank scares the crap out of me...

I am controlling my power heads via my Profilux but Tunze, Vortec & Koralia all make controllers for their powerheads. I have had no experience with a wavebox. I just really had enough with ugly things sitting in my last tank Skimmers etc.

Honestly the power heads work fine for me. I am running them 30 seconds a side so my LPS flowes to one side then the other. It dies down to 50% max at night and shrimp go wild.

Four 6055s in a 72 bowfront is a lot of flow! You can actually add appreciably more by simply removing the little plastic lip on the inside of the front cover of a 6055.
