The wave 2k I have heard breaks alot.

I am seriously thinking about getting the tunze wavebox, I have seen the video of it on the tunze web site, and it look awsome. The wave2k device has to stick out of the water where the tunze looks completely submerged. The only thing holding me up is the $500 price tag.

I'm pretty sure the Tunze has to be out of the water too... It needs air to "surge". I PM'd the Tunze people because I have a lip around my tank and was concerned about this since I do not have enough room to have it out of the water. I only have 1/2" and I think the Tunze wavebox needs 1" or more. The wavebox is also reccommended for a longer tank. Having a shorter tank will make the waves be a lot higher (more splash if ur not careful) It is also better to have an overflow on either end or a center overflow because with just one on the end, the overflow gets starved of water for a few secs and then gets flooded in a few secs.... I did a lot of research on the wavebox and like it (tank is too short tho), but if you go with 2 streams and the multicontroller, the same effect can essentially be reached (if you don't have a large enough tank)
