The mechanical principle of a waterbox is simple: a closed box has a Stream pump in the lower part and a good support system. Anyone have a 6206 on a 75g or similar tank? Any opinions about either unit being used on a 75g?Īnd yes I already know that some folks "claim" that a wavebox can destroy a glass tank, so if that's all you've got to say don't bother. 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’. After all, the ratio of time on and off remains essentially the same. It should come as no surprise that the power consumption remains unchanged when operating the pump in 'fast' or 'slow' mode. I know that the 6212 prefers long tanks and I don't consider a 75g tank to either be large nor long. Tunze's advertising claim of a 'sweeping action' is correct. The original 6212 used to claim it was rated down to a 30g tank but, well come on. ![]() I've considered adding a 6212 wavebox to the tank (It would have to be bought new as I don't wish to use one already tagged for the big tank setup), or the 6206 nano. My tank size is (L) 1500mm x 1200mm (W) x 700mm (H) Water level is only to 600mm. I don't really want to run the tank with both 6060's this time around as my frogfish seem to get stuck to the intake. The wavebox is controlled by the Profilux. I used to run 2 Tunze 6060 streams in the tank along with my Eheim 1262 return pump, about 4,000 GPH total. New lights, clean pumps, crystal clear water. I've since hooked up the largest skimmer that may have ever been dedicated entirely to a 75g and have been pushing the algae back. I completely neglected the tank as it had a hair algae problem that took over the entire tank. I almost retired from the hobby awhile back when my 75g tank had a meltdown. ![]() Ok so I have a couple of BIN Tunze waveboxes around for my 400g setup that will never happen.
