Hi, I will be starting my marine tank soon. Getting infos bits and pieces here and there......

Can any bros/Sis here advice whether which is better Tunze WaveBox x 01 or Wave maker 6055 x 02? In terms of water/current flow.

My tank size is 422 with internal overflow.

In fact i had actually decided to get the wavebox but recently i saw the wavebox-in-action in one of the LPF shop, it seems like the popeller is quite strong leh..... scare later cut the fish..... pls advice..... thx.

what do you plan to keep in your new tank setup?

If its just fishes and LPS corals then wavebox is good enough. They don't need much wave just some water movement.

If you're planning to keep sps then a wave maker is more ideal as you can aim and direct the wave

Yes, most ppbly just fish and LPS corals..... jus wondering if the fish will get caught onto the propeller? seems quite expose leh.....

Another thing bro, does the wavebox make a lot of noise?

ic... ya, tat is wat i meant... noisy.....

so getting wavemaker 6055 would be a better choice right?

it seems like getting 1 wavebox 6215 is abt the same price as getting 2 wavemaker 6055 plus controller....

btw, can one controller control 2 wavemaker.....?? thx bro

Hi bro, first of all, u must understand wavebox and wavemaker do have some differences. Wavebox causes displacement of water whereas wave maker create one directional current. Those controllable wave makers can be used to create water displacement but your 6055 may be too weak to create havoc in yr tank but gentle waves are there. If u are using 7096 controller, up to 4 Units. Hope this help.

Thanks bro...... really great information for me.... the niose from the 6055 as compared to 6215 is not significant right? .....

btw, do i need very strong wave for fish and LPS corals? In the market got Tunze controller for 2 units one bo? Thx....

Hi bro, for the wave box or wave maker, if it is functioning properly, there shldnt be much noise. For full pledge controller, all 4 ports unless u get wavebox which allows u to controll another wave maker or wavebox(I may be wrong) and need to chk on my set. Lol

For fishes, they like wave. For lps, not all, example bubbles.
