![]() Right next to where this plugs in is a dial to tune the voltage of the pump and vary its speed. Things get started, of course, with a DC converter that plugs in to the controller. The plugs to get this bad boy running are where it gets a little complicated. ![]() Much to my satisfaction this wavebox DOES attach to the aquarium with magnets, so keeping it in place won't be an issue. ![]() Under the pump, in the housing, is a foam pad, used most likely for noise reduction, and above that it is simply an empty box. The pump output sits neatly in the opening with enough room in the box to pull it out and service. Looking it over, I'm greeted by very well molded plastic sealing the entire box in except for the port where the pump sits. This things is built like a tank which is evident by the complete lack of flexing in the plastic housing, and the pump only adds to the heft. My very first impression was how much it weighed. This doesn't tell you much and the pictures online don't so much either, so here's my account of first checking out the wavebox hands on. Magnet Holder up to a glass thickness of 19 mm (.74 in.).įor tanks from 200 to 1,500 litres (52 to 396 USgal.). There's not a terribly large amount of information about these online, but I think some manufacturer specs are as good a place to start as any.ĭimensions: L125 x W113 x H 300mm (L4.9 x W4.4 x H11.8in.). I wasn't sure what to expect out of these interesting devices, but I can definitely say, it's not what I expected. That all changed this week when I received a Tunze 6215 Wavebox to play with. I've also always been very curious about the waveboxes that Tunze makes, but never got a chance to even see one in person or see one running. I've always been a fan of the look waves in a reef tank can give your corals, and I've always run wavemaker pumps for this reason. I just searched the forum and can't find a reference to anyone owning one of Tunze's waveboxes, so I figure I better put up the review I'm working on.
