Hi Chris....this is not an external wavebox. This guy built it to put inside his tank. It's basically a copy of the Tunze one. I'm trying to have an external wavebox outside of the display tank. Thanks for looking though.

Are you looking for a surge box?

Hi Dez, welcome back. I vaguely remember the thread you're thinking of, but it's been a pretty long time. As I recall it was something like a 8' or longer tank, 3' or 4' wide, and wasn't so much an "external" wavebox though as it was a false wall inside the tank that was drilled to accept the Tunze 6200. I believe there were 2 compartments, one each side flanking the overflow on the one side. And he had easily a 6" wave going I think. Is that the one you're thinking of?

Anyhow happy hunting (for that thread).

It was on aquariumpros not reefcentral. Pretty cool idea.

Making waves isn't that difficult, trouble is it does zero for water quality and plays havoc with the overflow.

Tony's right....it was a reefcentral thread, it wasn't that one on aquarium pros. Hmmmm....still can't find it though. I'd basically like to do my research before going through with it. I can't remember if the guy had that tank running and how well it worked etc....anybody here run a wavebox? How do you like it and what would you do differently?

Thanks guys.
