Wavebox questions
 
I've put in my new wavebox and it doesn't have hardly any flow at all. It's a six foot tank, what should I expect?

It's snugged up right under the Eurobracing and the water level line is underwater ? Is this why?

Don't tell me these things aren't meant for Eurobraced tanks....:surprise:

Deb you should of did some research... But i think that it shouldnt matter with the ones the i have looked at on the web make sure you have about 2" on the back to allow water to circulate

Wave box
 
You do have it at one end and with no obstructions ?
then you have to fine tune the pulse. Start at the lowest setting then SLOWLY increase it until a wave is produced, waiting a few minutes between adjustments, do it slowly and be patient
Being under the eurobracing shouldn't mater, at least it won't suck air

Deb,

I was thinking of getting one this week as well (My tank also has eurobracing) and would live to hear your results!

Did you get yours from J&L?

Thanks!

I got mine from Wendell. I think I'm getting there on adjusting it. :biggrin: Had it perfect once and messed with it, so starting over. :redface: I'm going to take a video once it gets humming again.

How far down from the eurobracing is your water level ?

I actually do not have tghe tank yet. I am currently running a 90 Gallon and should be getting my 225 next week.

The Wavemaker was going to be one of my first setup purchases for it.

I am HOPING not to have to water level any lower than 1/2 inch below the bracing. This is part of the reason I am so nervous about the purchase.

Keep me posted please.

Thanks
