Trying to set up my Tunze wave box! No directions!!!

Texastravis · 10/18/2008, 02:48 PM

Well I bought a used Tunze wavebox and dont have any directions. I hear they are in German anyways lol. Any advice on setting it up? The previous owner had it on a rimless tank so I switched the brackets around for my nonrimless tank.

My question is how do I set it up??? How high/deep does the wavebox need to be? Do I just plug it in? I figured I would just turn it on full power, plug it in, then adjust the frequency until it looks about right for my 4 foot 120 gallon.

Also is there anything I need to chance in my RR overflow boxes to adjust to this sort of wave madness!! lol. Any info would be great! Thanks

The RC link thing doesn't seem to work but if you copy and paste into a new browser, this works fine.

For a 4ft tank it is pretty easy, set the pulse to as quick as possible and it will be very close to optimum.

Actually since it's a 4 foot 120 you shouldn't have to adjust it at all. Since you got it from me and that's what I had

There is a water level indicator on the front of the wavebox, it might be semi faded by now but it's there. Shoot me a call if you have any questions. I tinkered with it for a week and then just left it. Just give it a few minutes before adjustments to let the adjustment pan out. You can use a piece of electric tape on the front pane to measure the height of the wave between adjustments to figure out optimum.

haha hey man. Thanks again for the wavebox. I was going to save it for my big tank but that will be some time so im going to put it on my gf's 120 gallon to see how it does. I think I know how to set it up but I was making sure there wasnt anything I was missing! Thanks
