![]() In terms of available accessories, the top of the Nano Wavebox 6208 can be swapped out with a intake lid that allows water at the surface to go into the wavemaker. An integrated magnet holder allows the box to be positioned virtually anywhere in the aquarium, and its small dimensions help it blend in with the rest of the filtration equipment, such as an overflow box. Using a Tunze Nanostream 6055 for flow, the compact wavemaker is suitable for tanks ranging from 35 to 210 gallons. Using the same form factor as the Comline filters and the Nano Skimmer 9004, the new Nano Wavebox sports a sleeker new look over the model it will be replacing and will be getting a little extra boost in the water flow department. SPS corals require constant random flow and this ensures that the entire colonies are receiving proper flow.As part of the massive lineup overhaul, Tunze is releasing an updated Nano Wavebox to the masses as well. especially for SPS since it's always flushing there polyps. Needless to say I am very impressed with the gentle current that is felt through out my tank with one small pump (in a box). My circulation pumps are actually harder on the eyes that the wavebox. Infact the wavebox is hard to see next to the overflow and black background. The wave was slightly higher being on the 2X2 panel though not so much where I would leave it there. After playing around with the wavecontroller i was able to get a total wave of about 1'' (even with the wavebox next to the mega-overflow). I tested it with entire circulation system off (and sump pump off). So I did not remove it when i put the box in the tank. Second, the cap on the underside has no instruction saying "remove". First problem: the wavebox is more effective when the box is sitting few inch above the water line (something hard to do when the top of the wavebox hits the rim under it's osmolator line). I wish tunze would have been more clear in there long list of instructions regarding a cap install on the under-side of the wavebox. So anyone reading this: I have figured it out. If you have experienced similar issues before getting great waves please help. If anyone has any feedback (tunze comline wavebox 6208) or dialing-in tips please share. I can deal with 1 wavebox in my tank but no way 2. If 1 tunze wavebox can not create at least a 1'' wave in a 120 gallon tank it's not worth $332 plus $25 shipping. ![]() Also, the new comline does not have any fins on the top (so I can't really see how empty the box is). Tunze wavebox 6208 rating is (41-200 gallons), I am currently feeling I made a mistake or don't know what I am doing may be its not positioned correctly! The demos on youtube hwave box on a 3' tank creating large waves. Even after changing over to the 24volt clip I still am not getting that cool wave action. This gave me slightly more water movement but nothing like I expected. I began wondering if those 2 ugly megaflows where restricting the wave action on the back wall so I moved the wavebox on the right glass panel (centered pointing the length of the tank). You can barely see the corals swaying but it is creating a small wave. After reading the instructions I put the wavebox on the back glass wall (next to the over flow pointing towards front panel). So i purchased the latest Tunze comline wavebox and figured I could get the same results in my aqueon 120 gallon mixed reef. The wave it created was over 1'' and it was tiny. The staghorns grew in a 100gallon tank with a tunze "nano" wavebox. So after getting some monster staghorn acro colonies off a friend I realized my tank needed a flow upgrade.
