In 2004 TUNZE®, introduced the "Wavebox", a patented wave generator for tanks from 200 to 1,200 litres.
Today, the TUNZE® Wavebox 6208 and 6215 world reknown wave generators for tanks from 150 to 1,500 litres, producing an oscillation current corresponding to the wave formation and water movements in reef top zones. The Wavebox is based on the oscillation principle and is controlled by the Wavecontroller 7092 or Multicontroller 7096 with the inherent tank resonance. This creates optimum water movement a very low power consumption. The water is in motion throughout in the aquarium, even the smallest areas behind the decoration will be in motion.
Example: In the case of tanks of a length of 1.5m, the water level may rise by up to 3cm and more due to the wave generation.
Additional flow pumps.
In the case of larger tanks, the system can be upgraded using an additional Wavebox extension 6215.50 (without Wavecontroller).
Average energy consumption in one cycle of 10W or 26W.
Supplied ready for installation with power supply and Magnet Holder, Wavecontroller and photocell.

FAQs about Wavebox 6208 / 6215

Can the Wavebox be fitted in an aquarium with outlet ?
Given a single wave, the water varies only very little in the centre of the aquarium (relative to the longitudinal axis). If and when possible, this zone should be used for the outlet and inlet. The greater the distance from this zone, the higher the difference in water level. TUNZE® outlets can withstand such variations without any problems, but they may cause noise.

Can the Wavebox produce several waves ?
Given an aquarium of two metres (78 in.) in length, a double wave can be produced. In order to get an indication for this frequency, the resonance frequency of single wave has to be divided by two. However, this can be achieved by means of the bigger Wavebox only.

Is the Wavebox compatible with other Turbelle® pumps ?
Wavebox can also be integrated in an aquarium with Turbelle® pumps. The circular current of the Turbelle® and the washing of the waves produced by the Wavebox superimpose each other and result in a strongly pulsating circular current for reef top biotopes, for example.

One Wavebox 6215 and one Wavebox Extension 6215.50 is needed for a tank with a content of 2,000 litres (525 USgal.). Do the Waveboxes are to be located next to each other in case of space problems ?
Two Waveboxes can be placed in opposite corners of the tank; in this case they will operate alternatingly: When one Wavebox operates, the other is switched off, et cetera; Wavecontroller 7092 is used to control the entire system.

How does the Wavebox operate ?

The pump in the Wavebox presses the water to the left-hand side of the tank causing all polyps in every position in the aquarium to move to the left.

The pump is stopped; the wavebox fills up; and the entire water in the aquarium returns to the right-hand side. All polyps move to the right.
