The price on the Nano Wavemaker is set at $332, with the intake lid just a little more than $6 extra.Ī brief demonstrational video from Tunze can be seen below. This skims the surface to some extent, and pushes some of that water into deeper parts of the aquarium. In terms of available accessories, the top of the Nano Wavebox 6208 can be swapped out with a intake lid that allows water at the surface to go into the wavemaker. An integrated magnet holder allows the box to be positioned virtually anywhere in the aquarium, and its small dimensions help it blend in with the rest of the filtration equipment, such as an overflow box. Using a Tunze Nanostream 6055 for flow, the compact wavemaker is suitable for tanks ranging from 35 to 210 gallons. Using the same form factor as the Comline filters and the Nano Skimmer 9004, the new Nano Wavebox sports a sleeker new look over the model it will be replacing and will be getting a little extra boost in the water flow department. The acros which will be placed higher can benefit from extra propeller pumps and return-line (preferably from a sea-swirl).As part of the massive lineup overhaul, Tunze is releasing an updated Nano Wavebox to the masses as well. The best thing about having a wave box in a mixed reef with acros, softies, & LPS is everything will be happy with the gentle wave action. In conclusion, it is not absolutely required to have a wavebox, but having one can take out the guess work in making sure which corals are receiving enough flow. Check out Nando reef from italty who has incredible growth of SPS I wonder where he even hides these power-heads. When corals start to over power the aquarium you really start to run out of room for powerheads (because we are looking for indirect flow). Similar to MH par rating through-out the tank something I think in minimized by using a wavebox. With just stream pumps you have different intensities of flow at different areas of the tank. He never experienced any type of issues getting flow to the base but I guarantee the wave box's played a hugh part in keeping everything in the tank moving like they do in the ocean. A lot of these crazy sps tanks experience some type of die-off at the acropora's awhen they have grown to monster colonies because of lack of flow to there base.Ĭhingchai's sps (older) 300 gallon was packed with coral colonies and he had about 3 tunze wavebox along with multiple tunze stream pumps.
If they just held of on 1 or 2 extra powerheads and added a wavebox they will ensure that every cubic inch of the tank is receiving some type of flow. Over time these awesome TOTM's keep adding multiple tunze streams to make up the flow after coral colonies growth blocks current. There is also a lot of wasted energy when it comes to using to many powerheads. In a aquarium filled with sps or mixed reef - flow is critical.I am not talking about just multiple power heads going in all different directions "blasting away" this is not as important as quality random flow. This is based on extensive research and others tanks as well as views TOTM threads (most who don't use them). I will keep everyone posted on the new wavebox. Tunze Comline Wave Box 6208.000 Specifications: Dimensions: L 110 x W 90 x H 255mm (L 4.3 x W 3.5 x H 10in.) Dimmersion depth: approx. $332 which includes a controllable pump (i belive), controller, and box! Not bad you can always use the pump if you don't like the way. I feel tunze prices are actually some what reasonable now (if you look carefully).

Along with that use my korlias on random throughout the day. I feel vortech are great but I rather have (1 mp-40 and 1 wavebox) than 2 mp-40s. While this is sufficient for LPS and Softies it's not for SPS.
I bought a jbc oceanmotion wavemaker but all it is a timer/switch!! I can buy 2 timers from wal-mart and have them more random than simply altering power between 2 pumps. I feel for new hobbyist it's to easy to buy a product that simply says "wavemaker" on it. I feel a wave box is the only device that can satisfy a mixed reef without being to over powering. I am about to order a tunze comline wavebox for my 120gallon mixed reef!! Anyways I went on various website to see customer reviews surprisingly no one has posted any comments.
