Wavemaker for a 85g tank

Carlos Roberto · 09/01/2015, 09:06 PM

Im looking for a wavemaker with controller to fit my tank ( planning to get all kind of coral,sps, lps, zoos, anemones), what do you recommend me to use?

My tank is just 48' long and using a HOB overflow. Does wave movements can alter my overflow functionality?

You can set pumps like the Vortech or Tunze to create waves. Vortech is much easier to do this with imo. Sand gets blown around a bit. There's also the Tunze Wavebox which I was tempted to try. My tank is 48x24x24 @ 120g. The waves shouldn't impact your overflow functionality.
