Default Wavebox knock off
Saw these on ebay from the same place that sells Bubble Magnus skimmers in Hong Kong.
Anyone know anything about the pumps? Supposed to come in a 110 version.

Answered my own question, they are Resun DC pumps. Seem to have mixed reviews (on RC) compared to a Tunze, but a lot less money.
I hate to be the first one to try out one of these Waveboxes.

For +$300 after shipping and duties you can make your own with a real Tunze pump like that guy did on the RC DIY forum.

Well I took a chance.
It arrived from Singapore quickly in good shape.
There were no instructions at all but I managed to assemble it without much problem. It came with a 220v power cord but I swapped it with an old cord from a PC and it seems to working fine.
I believe the Resun pump is 24v DC so I'm assuming the controller can handle 110v or 220v input.
The acrylic work seems pretty good and the box has gussets on all the inside seams.
The controller took a while to figure out with no instructions but now that its set it is pushing about a 3/4" to 1" wave in my 220.
The mount fits perfectly on my euro-bracing so no magnets needed.

What are the dimensions? It looks bigger that the Tunze one - the controller definitely is bigger than the Tunze controller.
