That is CRAZY! Is that 2 waveboxes? Do you intend to have that much movement when the tank is set up?

 

[480greefer]

I will dial it down a little may be 3" of wave.

I am using 4 wave boxes . Most people can get away with 2 and achieve 1.5" of wave but i want to push for a little more... If i max out the wave, i will have water splashing out the tank. I had the tank filled 4" below the brace and the water already it.....

That's sweet... a couple more inches high, and we could surf that.lol..

 

[480greefer]

I could max it out at 6" or more but my tank may have problem... esp with just the parameter bracing...

dang thats sick. Is that gonna be your only water movement or will you add PHs?

 

[480greefer]

I will have 4 tunze 6301 which produce approx 8000gph. My turnover flow should be 34000gph without the wave boxes..

wow! crazy stuff!

 

[Azurel]

That's gonna be a good looking tank.....

I am very nervous myself. I can't wait to get my tank up and running either. I will dial down the wave a bit because i know it will splash out of my tank...

Nice! I have wanted to add a wave box or two but I have always been concerned about the seams of the tank being able to handle the impact of the waves. I am sure acrylis will work much better for the impact of the wave.
AWESOME! Please keep adding pictures!

That's incredible! The fish are going to have fun trying not to puke. :hammer:

The wave will not be that much whenever i have the tank up and running. I will dial it down a bit. This is my first design and thanks god it work...

Imagine seeing LPS with long flowing tentacles swaying in rhythm with the Waves .... curious to know just how much does this Wave Box unit cost??

Thanks for sharing and can't wait to the "wave action" when the rocks are in place ....
