Well, they're not sealed per se, just intended to be open to air. But water does get in through the slatted bottom and so on. The main idea is you have to empty the box and let it refill, but there's no "overflow" into the box. Good to know the hole size hasn't changed with the next gens. But it sort of sounds like we're in agreement here, so it's a "moot" () point. I think an external wavebox is a GREAT idea. I think an external Stream though, ie. not wavebox, is a .. not so great idea. But it would work, just in a "not the most bang for the buck" kind of way. If that makes any sense.

Hmmm....I didn't even know that a stream rock even existed until now. That might be a great option for me. Thanks for the advice. This will really help me out.

You should be able to get Tunze Rocks for pretty cheap now since I don't think they work with the newly redesigned Tunze streams.

Stream rocks come with an adapter ring now that will fit every kind of stream pump except for the nano. - from the Tunze site.
