You know, this has got me thinking again about the whole "wave pool" concept. Instead of having a massive pump on a timer behind the wall in a tank, imagine what a big piston actuated panel could do for flow in one?

A tank like that with a Wave2k unit on one of the short sides would be pretty neato..of course this is assuming that the Wave2k units work well....

So far I've looked at the Calfo manifoldsl, and while I like the idea I don't know how I'd execute it. Or at least I don't know how to do it cleanly, like your cube tank Harvey.
Gyre tanks, while looking awesome would eat up too much usable space, so I guess I'll be skipping that idea. I'm thinking I'll be using it on a future frag tank though. I thought of waveboxes, hence why I initially mentioned a water height of 1ft, but a total glass height of 15". I don't know much about them, so I'm kind of in the dark. I did however note the release of the Wave2K, and took a quick look at the thread on RC. My other thoughts were another closed loop system with educators, or a tank full of powerheads. Neither of which really appeal because of the aesthetics.
