Default Wave box for 65 Gal?

Hey guys , anybody using a Tanze wave box for 50-65 Gal tank?
Is 65 gal would be too small? It is rated for min 50 gal.
Should i go with a Wave box and one nano stream or two nano streams on Tunze multy controller?
Some one told me that in 3 feet x18"x24" tank the wave siquence might be too short
Any thought would be apreciated thank you.

I have been looking into a wavebox for my new system, from what I have read you need a clear path from one end to the other for it to work effectively, which may be hard to do in your tank. Here is a wavebox on a 75.

From the video, think the noise would put me over the edge.

To my understanding, the wavebox is tuned to perform best on a 6-foot tank. Shorter tanks will result in a smaller wave being produced. I seem to recall Roger Vitko of tunze saying in the RC tunze forum that a wavebox in a 4-foot tank may not be worth it given the smaller waves it produces relatively to the amount of room it takes up.
