![]() A wavebox in a saltwater aquarium can create. 180 mm (7.0 in.), on average 10 W, 230 V / 50 - 60 Hz (115 V / 50 - 60 Hz).įor tanks from 150 to 600 litres (39 to 158 USgal.). Generate strong standing waves in your 35 - 210 gallon saltwater aquarium with the Tunze Comline Wavebox 6208. Power consumption in one cycle from 2 W to 18 W about 10 W on average.ĭelivery condition: Ready to fit with Nano Magnet Holder for attachment to vertical panes or an aquarium with glass tops, Wave Controller and photo-electric cell.ĭimensions: L 125 x W 55 x H 220 mm (L 4.9 x W 2.1 x H 8.6 in.). It supplements existing circulation pumps. The integrated Magnet Holder permits an uncomplicated attachment at every point of the aquarium with a glass thickness of 19 mm (.74 in.). The very compact dimensions permit discreet attachment in small or medium-sized aquariums. The Nano Wavebox uses the same principle, but has been designed for smaller aquariums from 150 to 600 litres (39 to 158 USgal.). The Wavebox applies this oscillating principle through Wave Controller 6091, which uses the intrinsic resonance of the tank. The current corresponds exactly to the wave structure and water movement in reef top zones. Every inch of your live rock become active, all coral polyps are exposed to flow and there are no hiding places for sediments anymore.In 2004, TUNZE® marketed the "Wavebox" as a world novelty - a patented wave generator for aquariums of 200 to 1,200 litres (52 to 317 USgal.). Which greatly improves the biological dynamics of the tank. Once this critical frequency has been found, there is no longer a single drop of water in the aquarium which no longer moves, even behind the rock work. And every aquarium is specific, depending on length, height, width, shape, aquascape, return flow… This can take some trial and error to set up properly, until we reach the maximum water displacement. This is made possible by a special Wave controller for this use: if the pump is in service for 0, 85 sec., It should be stopped for 0.85 sec., Like a metronome. in a strongly pulsating circular current for reef top biotopes, for example. It will therefore be necessary to find the right frequency of on/off of the pump to displace the largest possible body of water. Reference 6208.000 - Comline Wavebox 6208for aquariums from 150 to 800. This is only part of the system: in order to cause an efficient movement of water, these cycles of rising/falling out of the box must be done with a frequency very specific to each aquarium according to its length. The system is brilliant by its simplicity. It is thus possible to cause an up and down movement in the box like a mechanical piston but here, the only rotating part is a small pump propeller. When this pump stops, the water rushes back into the box through the large opening of the pump. When the pump is put into service, the box empties almost to the level of the pump. ![]() See also Why Flow is So Critical in a Reef Aquarium Immersed in the aquarium (it protrudes from the surface of 2cm), the internal level is the same as that of the aquarium. The Tunze wave Box is an old and proven technology, that first came out in 2003, just a year after the first propeller pump ‘Stream’. The mechanical principle of a waterbox is simple: a closed box has a Stream pump in the lower part and a good support system. The gyre assure a general flow, and the wave box add the swell touch so we get a large flow, and the pumping in it which is very natural. Coupled with our gyre system, the result is fantastic. We tried quite a few wave making option, but could never reach the perfect result we get using a classic Tunze Wave Box.Ī gentle, slow, homogenous, vertical, swing in an out seemed impossible to achieve with current wave makers options until we came back to the basics, and got some new old school Tunze Wave Box. We were looking for a correct way to balance these long dancing tentacles in and out, the way we see it in the ocean. We’ve been testing quite a few wave making machines in the last few months since we are now producing a large amount of corals inland, especially Torches, Branching Hammers and Frogspawn.
