The Tunze and the Resun are the only decent DC pumps I was able to find to use in a aquarium. I was going to try it with a Maxi Jet, but didn't want to deal with starting issues so I went with a DC pump. But he didn't get the results he wanted because he couldn't get the pump to always start in the right direction. There was also someone trying to do this with a modded Maxi Jet. Got an email that it shipped today from New York, so I should have it in a few days. Ill let you know how it goes once the new power supple gets here. As long as you dont mind losing a little space on one end of the tank you could try the Resun pump. But I'm just throwing them in the corners so I didn't care. The only down side to the pumps I'm using that I know of right now, is that they are a little large.
Wavebox reef tank how to#
There are many DIYs on how to do it with that pump. It was the last one they had and it was on the counter advertised as last one 250 So I said to them if you can do it for 200 I will take it. Then all you would have to do is build the box and "pulse adapter". Again Reefing Equipment Hi all, Yesterday I purchased a Tunze wavebox from my LFS. It should come with the power supply/ controller for the pump.
Wavebox reef tank series#
If you want to build one with a proven quality pump I would go with the Tunze 6100 series I think. Just need a sealed box with on open top to put the pump in. The bursts of power drain the reservoir in the box and when the power goes off, the water begins to flow back through the pump to refill the box, this displacement of water causes the wave effect. the pump is on a controller that pulses power causing the pump to turn on and off in short periods. Magnet Holder up to a glass thickness of 19 mm (.74 in.).įor tanks from 200 to 1,500 litres (52 to 396 USgal.).Just so I understand whats going on: the pump is isolated in the box with just the outlet towards the tank.
The break in wave movement whilst the fish are fed ensures that no food gets into the stone structures and that the fish can feed undisturbed by the wave movement.ĭimensions: L125 x W113 x H 300mm (L4.9 x W4.4 x H11.8in.). The wave generation is interrupted for about 7 to 9 minutes to permit feeding. The Foodtimer integrated in the Wavecontroller switches the Wavebox off when food is dispensed. In order to ensure night-mode operation, the Wavecontroller 7092 has been fitted with a photoelectric cell: In this case the Wavebox will be set to standstill for the night. Given a strong growth of coral, this frequency should be re-adjusted after some time. The frequency is determined when the unit is set up, which then remains constant. The Wavecontroller 7092 controls the pump in such a way that switching on and off corresponds to a certain frequency. The Wavecontroller 7092 stops the pump after a short time the water returns into the housing of the Wavebox. It pumps the water out of the box at a high speed. A special Wavebox pump is used as a wave generating pump, which belongs to the family of the Turbelle stream pumps. Nano Wavebox and Wavebox can be fitted in any corner of the aquarium.
In large tanks, a Wavebox 6215 and a Wavebox Extension 6215.50 should be fitted, the latter being a Wavebox 6215 without Wavecontroller 7092 which is used as an extension. All of the water in the tank is in movement, which means that water also laps around areas behind stones very well.
At very little power consumption, an enormous water movement is produced very efficiently. The resonance frequency is set on the Wavecontroller it is the frequency, at which the waves can reach the maximum height in the aquarium. Have one to sell Tunze USA 6208. Nano Wavebox and Wavebox are controlled by means of Wavecontroller 7092 or Multicontroller 7096, which use the energy of the waves in the resonance frequency of the tank in an ideal manner. 349.99 + 12.85 shipping Sold by: Champion Lighting and Supply Co. They produce oscillating waves which permit waves and water movement almost identical with reef zones. TUNZE Nano Wavebox and Wavebox are suitable wave generators for all reef biotopes.
