I just put a nano wavebox in my 100gallon tonight. Im getting plenty of wave at the lowest pump power setting. I would guess its moving water 3/4" at both ends. The only wave action I get is on a very fast pulse.

What really surprised me is I tried the box in the front corner where there are no obstructions.. then tried it in the back corner where its basically pointed smack into the reef rock and the wave is just as strong. I figured the rock would block it somewhat but it doesnt. Im going to leave mine in the back where its not seen much.

The impeller was getting stuck on the side of the little tunnel the water shoots out of. We took it apart and pushed the pump back a little.. hopefully thats not going to be an ongoing problem.

I have a question for those of you that have wavemakers.. were you able to do away with any "flow" pumps once you put the wavemaker in?

Im running 4 nanostreams and one big tunze and now the wavebox.
