Wave box vs wave makers

The online literature about comparing wb and WM is non existent... Can WM co-exist with wb ?

there is a comparison between vortech n tunze wavebox.

Vortech's flow coverage is wider than the wavebox.

Both can generate waves. But I feel waves generated by wavebox is nicer meaning the swaying is like 1sec to left then 1 sec right. Vortech is half sec left and half second right. So corals under tunze give the feel of rest n relax. Under vortech gives kancheong feel.

depends on how big is your tank. Pple chooses vortech is the flow is very strong and when running 2 of them can run in nutrient export mode meaning the water is very chaotic and will bring up the dirt that are rested on your lr.

But u still need to use a turkey baster to blow at certain areas on the rocks that are inaccessible by the waves. Your rock scape also play an important role in water flow. Both types of wavemakers requires u to have unblock wave path, meaning no obstruction facing the pump as possible.

I dun own a wavebox only vortechs. After reading the comparisons online, wavebox flow is weaker compare to a mp40 but the wave generated by wavebox is nicer.

Aesthetically vortech has a smaller footprint. Motor is not inside water, but not sure heat dissipation for wavebox is high anot.

Thanks for info. I suppose it's personal preference and if tank not big then no point really

Wave makers will do the job nicely
