Who can tell me how THIS works?

That is quite the rig, so is that piece that moves around on the bottom making the wave? If so how will that work in a reef tank? Very cool.

Greg, I thought that at first. But I think it's something just floating in there, to show the water movement lower in the tank.

I'm guessing the two BIG bulkheads are piped to some sort of device underneath the tank. I just don't know what that device IS. And it also looks like the guy is manually turning something.

i'm not sure if it is the same thing but i know royal exclusive (sorry i dont know what pump it is) but anyway they are developing an external pump for a closed loop system that can also act as a wave device in the same way as that movie. i read up on it a couple months ago and i think jason from proline is using it in tank they are buildling. really cool though

Think CL with the bulkheads on the sides able to cycle between being the input and output and what he's playing with, being the diverting valve.

Looks pretty cool but to bad you have to stand there the whole time flipping the switch to make it work. It would be alot nicer if it was automated.
