Need to borrow a Tunze Wavebox for about 30 min

[fjr_wertheimber]

Okay, so I'm setting up my new tank, and am having a hard time deciding my flow setup. One of the LFS (I bet you can guess who) keeps pushing/advocating the Tunze Wavebox, but between the cost and the fact that I have a single corner (well, not quite corner, it goes from the center brace to almost the corner, I'd be concerned about the overflow doing the whole feast-famine thing, and sounding like a crashing wave ever few seconds. Which, while it could be cool short term, I think it might drive me a bit nuts long term. So, in the interest of seeing if the Tunze Wavebox is even a viable option, I was wondering if anyone has one that I can plug into the tank for a few minutes to see how everything would act with it in there. Thanks!

It's not actually a device you can plug in and in a minute or 2 see if it's going to work. It sometimes takes a few days to dial it in. Good luck on finding someone that has one they aren't using.

I wouldn't set up a large tank without one. I have 2 of them for my 400g. Out of everything you see for sale used, you hardly ever see a wavebox and only if the person is getting out of the hobby for ever. They really are that good.

And as to the cost, they aren't that much when you consider what they do. For $550 it moves every bit of water in your tank every second. Compare the price to the fact that I also want 2x Tunze 6100 and a 7095 controller will set me back about $1,400 after taxes.
