    After testing for leak...



    ... it's time to test the Tunze Nano Wavebox too... perfect for mixing salt



    The Optiwhite tank glows

    I didn't notice the flash actually created such interesting shadow effect Have not really decided on the lighting yet... will come in at a later stage I guess.

    Went back to Aquamarin to collect the Eheim 1250 pump for the protein skimmer. The box looks old... I didn't know they used to call it Universal Hobby Pump



    Firing up!!!



    Very happy with the ease of setting up... the whole operation is very quiet as I do not release the air valve fully... I think I need a silencer for the air intake

    One of the reasons I bought this sump



    So neat!!! The silicone hose is temporary of course... will connect the sump to the main tank once the live sand settles in.





    Love the texture of the live sand

    first time follow a marine tank setup, thus don't really understand a lot of things. .. going to do some read up
    BTW the wavebox seems quite huge in the tank

    Great to have you tagging along... that Wavebox is already the smallest in the market... you need the chamber for the wavemaker to work. Actually it's not too bad considering flow is one of the most crucial elements in a marine setup and most guys have a few wavemakers in a small tank.

    Got the liverock... chosen from Reborn and Aquamarin. Can't find Pacific (Tonga and Fiji) rock as the shipment will only come next month... and I was told that Tonga branches have been banned



    So I'll just make do with what I can find

    Not sure anymore that you need any sort of chamber for a wavemaker to function as a wavebox.

    Why do I say this? Have you seen the Vortex wavemaker that is on display at Iwarna in their 2ft tank? It's also on a on&off cycle that looks like every second to me, and the wave in that tank is amazing. There isn't any chamber for the vortex, just blowing straight into the water column...

    what do you think?

    I was one of the firsts to run a Vortech last time and I used to have 3 running in my 4ft SPS tank. They function slightly differently if you have the chance to experience both. They give almost the same result... but different. If you wanna know the most upset experience I've got with the Vortech... I've had countless small fishes and invertebrates sucked and diced by the pumps

    Ouch...that's painful. Both for you and for the LS.

    So seriously, what's the difference? Is is the amplitude of the wave, of the waveform?

    I do not have any scientific/technical terms to help with the explanation... but if you observe how the wavebox works... when the pump is running on reverse, the pump will suck water from the tank to fill up the chamber. It will then empties the chamber to push the water back into the tank. That's the main difference between the Wavebox and Vortech. But again, you might get the same result if you tune them well (as mentioned in my previous post).
