Tunze Wavebox
Are these waveboxes designed to be run 24/7 or is that bad for your tank?

How sensitive is the photocell? As my tank is in my room so my side light may be on longer.

Got it sorted thanks.. but when it turns off, the level in my sump rises..
Which is obviously no use since that throws off my auto top up unit... not sure what to do other than leave it on 24/7 and manually turn the intensity down at night. |

Sorry, I don't understand why the amount of water in your sump changes when the Wavebox turns off.

The water level shoudnt change. If it does, ever so little. Maybe you should move your in sump float up a little.(ato)
