DIY Wavebox / Wavemaker



My DIY Wavebox using some acrylic pieces to make the box and a Tunze 6000 stream. I also made my own wave controller to create an adjustable pulse. The circuit is based on the 555 timer IC that takes the Tunze’s +v from the DIN5 and chop it into pulses. The whole DIY project costs about 0 complete. Parts List: Tunze 6000 Stream: 0 Acrylic sheets: free Weld-On #16: Electronics: TOTAL: 0 Please visit my thread at ReefCentral for more details: www.reefcentral.com xtmreef …

    i would suggest that you put a canopy or anything to hide the surface of the water. its quite iritating to see the water go up and down. hide it man. i would just love seeing corals sway but not the surface water. it gives me headache watching the water. lol. Just a suggestion dude. ^^,

    Read up on dissolved oxygen. You don’t need bubble things for a reef tank or any tank.

  16. americandreamet says:

    If you have movement in the water does that generate oxygen for the fish? I mean do you still need a oxygen bubble tube thing?

    That has got to be some of the best wave action I have EVER seen. Please post a link to a DIY or send me a PM with how you set it up. Would be even better if it was externally mounted and would be VERY easy to accomplish that!!!
