Tunze Wavebox, worth the investment?

I was worried about the size as well, and when I first got it I was horrified at how much room it took up in my tank and was thinking I should have gone with a controllable Tunze . However, the benefits of the wavebox far outweigh any "unsightliness" or real estate usage, IMO. I couldn't believe the polyp extension I was getting from my corals in just a few days. Milleporas are incredibly hairy(and they were pretty hairy to begin with) and corals that previously didn't really have polyps out were now true fuzzy sticks. I must say it was definitely one of the best things I've done for my tank and about a week or so after I started using it it started to blend in with the rest of the tank and now I don't even notice it.

Oh and the fish love the flow too

I have one and I love it.....you don't really notice it after it's been there
for a bit as I have mine right out in the open...definitely worth the money, and I would love to add another to the other side of the tank!

My tanks have done well without one, so until they drop below $300, I can't justify it. Currently I have a Stream 6060 and a powerhead, I get full polyp extension. One of my LFS's has one, and I think it's great, but $600 is too rich for me to make waves.
