it is 28 high
i will only know the pressure when i try my rody there
dude how is that wave box working for you man...if you would have a chance would you get the factory made instead?

lol

This hobby charges way too much for some things.
The diy wavebox is working very well.
I really see no difference between both, so I would stay with what I have.

The box was built to factory size specifications, equipped with a tunze 6100, and the diy controller makes perfect on/off oscillations.
I can get 1 inch waves easily in my 5' long tank.
Not to mention it is also a corner overflow.
In my old 4' long 90g, I was able to get slightly higher.

Are you planning to run 250w as well?

[grisha]

ea right now i have single coralvue 250 over 40 breeder ... im going to keep it and get another one ....
do you think wave bol will work for me? i have center overflow in 24 deep tank

[Cloud1921]

Yeah, it should work.
I have seen them on 24 deep tanks before.

[grisha]

what i mean is..would center overflow be a problem with wave box positioned on the back panel?

[jhale]

greg, congratulations on the upgrade.

with only 1 foot on each side to work with those are going to be some real narrow cabinets. will the tank be offset, or do you want it centered in the wall?

for booster pumps you'll want to look at the 8800, and the permeate pump combo.

J what i have in mind is 2x4
left to right
wall{3" joist, 15" open----3" joist, 30" open-----3" joist15" open-----3" joist} walL
tank is in the middle
thanks for the link man

The wavebox actually peforms better on a tank with a center overflow.
As for position, you mean on one of the side panels?
I have never seen them placed directly on the back wall of the tank, considering that it is only 24" deep.

ok gotta start getiing together my plumbing order from savko
what i have is balkheads for overflow
1" threaded return and 1 1/4" threaded drain
