Tunze’s latest controllable Stream models can do this natively with the included 7090 controller, but the Wavebox does it with less electricity consumption and to greater effect. The alternative is two pumps cycling in an inverse frequency to create a “push/pull” effect, this of course uses more power and generally results in a smaller wave. By combining displacement the Tunze Wavebox is unleashing a greater amount of energy in each pulse as the box empties and fills with each pump cycle. 80 seconds in typical home aquariums of 3-8 ft in length, that will produce this wave effect. Each tank dependent on size and layout will have one frequency, generally between. In this way a small amount of energy can build to dramatic effect. To explain it simply resonance frequencies are inherent in all structures, it is a frequency which allows energy to build so one wave collides additively with another. Still to this day, other pump manufacturers have adapted the resonance frequency concept to produce a wave but without the displacement, two pumps are generally needed, one on each side, using twice as much energy for a generally smaller wave. It instead combined the principle of resonance frequency with the displacement of the box as the pump cycled off and on.
#Tunze wavebox 6260 generator#
A true wave generator that did not use paddles or dump buckets. Every inch of your live rock become active, all coral polyps are exposed to flow and there are no hiding places for sediments anymore.Introduced in 2004, the Wavebox 6212 was the first product of its kind. Which greatly improves the biological dynamics of the tank. Once this critical frequency has been found, there is no longer a single drop of water in the aquarium which no longer moves, even behind the rock work.
And every aquarium is specific, depending on length, height, width, shape, aquascape, return flow…
#Tunze wavebox 6260 trial#
This can take some trial and error to set up properly, until we reach the maximum water displacement. This is made possible by a special Wave controller for this use: if the pump is in service for 0, 85 sec., It should be stopped for 0.85 sec., Like a metronome. It will therefore be necessary to find the right frequency of on/off of the pump to displace the largest possible body of water. This is only part of the system: in order to cause an efficient movement of water, these cycles of rising/falling out of the box must be done with a frequency very specific to each aquarium according to its length. The system is brilliant by its simplicity. It is thus possible to cause an up and down movement in the box like a mechanical piston but here, the only rotating part is a small pump propeller. When this pump stops, the water rushes back into the box through the large opening of the pump. When the pump is put into service, the box empties almost to the level of the pump.

The Tunze wave Box is an old and proven technology, that first came out in 2003, just a year after the first propeller pump ‘Stream’. The mechanical principle of a waterbox is simple: a closed box has a Stream pump in the lower part and a good support system. The gyre assure a general flow, and the wave box add the swell touch so we get a large flow, and the pumping in it which is very natural. Coupled with our gyre system, the result is fantastic. We tried quite a few wave making option, but could never reach the perfect result we get using a classic Tunze Wave Box.Ī gentle, slow, homogenous, vertical, swing in an out seemed impossible to achieve with current wave makers options until we came back to the basics, and got some new old school Tunze Wave Box. We were looking for a correct way to balance these long dancing tentacles in and out, the way we see it in the ocean. We’ve been testing quite a few wave making machines in the last few months since we are now producing a large amount of corals inland, especially Torches, Branching Hammers and Frogspawn.
