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…
Wavebox reef tank trial#
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. It will therefore be necessary to find the right frequency of on/off of the pump to displace the largest possible body of water. 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. Ideal to accommodate both the goldfish that a mini reef marine with sliding glass lid.
The system is brilliant by its simplicity. Wave box is the new frontier of the aquarium. 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. in a strongly pulsating circular current for reef top biotopes, for example. 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. Reference 6208.000 - Comline Wavebox 6208for aquariums from 150 to 800. We were looking for a correct way to balance these long dancing tentacles in and out, the way we see it in the ocean. POWER CONSUMPTION in one cycle of about 10W on average.ĭELIVERY CONDITION: Completely ready for mounting with magnetic holding device (for glass up to 15mm (0.6in) in thickness), Wavecontroller and photo-electric cell.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. The water is in movement in all areas of the aquarium, even the smallest section behind a decoration benefits from the wash.Įxample: On account of the wash of the waves, the maximum water level may rise 2 cm (.78 in.) and more in aquariums with a length of 1.5 metres (1,5m.) The wave height can be adjusted electronically. Each additional extension (with a maximum of three). With a minimal use of power it generates tremendous water movement. The combination of a Tunze Wavebox and Wavebox Extension is suitable for aquariums up to 3000 liters. The Wavebox applies this oscillating principle through Wave Controller 7092, which uses the intrinsic resonance of the tank. The current corresponds exactly to the wave structure and water movement in reef top zones. It is especially suitable for reef biotopes as it generates an oscillating current.
