this is a little intense

i agree looks very fake....even in my 6 foot tank i think it would look stupid

 

Too fast. The gurgling would drive me nuts!

 

Pretty cool. but not for me. If it were not so intense, it'd look much better.

 

holy crap! congrats man! i'll call or pm sometime next week when i know whats going on with us on the 12th.

 

Well I am in the process right now of getting acrylic together to make my own wavebox out of a Tunze 6100 I have. When I get everything together I will try and take pics for a DIY for some people. This will be on a 7' tank so I hope it works out good.

 

That's not true. The waves in the ocean don't mean anything for the reef. The waves that you see are surface variations caused mostly by wind. The currents under the water are what hits the reef and they can vary from second to second. The problem with wave generators IMO is that it's still a laminar wave flow. It only goes back and forth. It's just not random enough to really simulate what corals get in the wind. IMO the random reef crest or lagoon mode of a Vortech is the closest we can get to date.

 

Not to threadjack but CONGRATS!!

 

lol, youre worried about hi-jacking one of MY threads? have you ever read one of my threads? i don't think i've every stayed on topic for more than a page

 

I am a diver. I have been underwater enough to know that the pulses of water from that wave box, at least how it is in that video is not how it looks in real life, regardless of where you are in the water.

 

Thanks guys

That's why we love your threads

What good is a thread without a nice hi jacking anyways? LOL
