![]() I have a half circle tank. I emailed Tunze and asked that very question. They replied thanking me for the interest but adviced me NOt to but this product. They explained that they have no experiences with curved glass and thought that it would not work properly or possibly not at all.

![]() But mines like a 1/4 of a pie. So, from one Radii pane, across the front, and bounce off the other pane, back across the front.. Hmm I dunno. Alot of $$$ to spend to find out it doesnt work well. maybe one day I'll spring for a MP20

![]() While I was switching tanks, I briefly tried the nanowavebox out on a 33gallon, It was a fairly quick wave but a pretty cool effect nonetheless. Now I have it on my 4x2 foot and I get about a 1.5-2" wave and you couldn't talk me into giving the nano wavebox up if you tried.
My understanding of the physics of the thing is that the wave is created by displacement of the water and so you wouldn't get the same kind of effect as you would with a vortech or series of streams. |

![]() Yes, you can get the same effect with a Vortech. Pulsing a Powerhead in the right timing WILL create a wave as well. Just the wavebox can possibly use a smaller pump due to the isolation of the 2 bodies of water.
Ever sit in a bath and move back/forth a little bit. Or, even though its not in water, A Swing. You only apply forward energy and the result is a swinging(oscillation) or transfer of energy forward and backward, just like a wave

![]() i used to have an original larger wavebox in my 60 gal (36"long)
And now when Nano is out i got the Nano wave box. I get a larger wave from Nano due to a tank size but in a nut shell it worth every penny, i would pay more for it. ![]() |

![]() Don't worry about hijacking! Give 'er. I rarely dislike hijacking...usually turns into something interesting.
Oh I just don't know what to do!!! Those who have Waveboxes seem to really love them, and those who have VorTechs really love those... Last edited by Myka; 03-25-2009 at 12:21 AM. |
