Ok the vortech deal is another thread. one thread at a time. I'm just looking into waveboxes on this thread.

I had three ideas in mind

1) Wavebox
2) Mass flow powerheads
3) Surge device

Right now I am on waveboxes and I believe the surge decvice got blown out the window due to, size, bubbles and noise but I'm still going to have a thread on it.

Be patient my fishy little friends.

Aside from looks and design, the functionality capabilities of properly placed synced vortechs is incredibly similar to waveboxes.

yes, but as with the wavebox, if you have the vortechs set for wave pulsing you still need additional flow.

i'll say it again...

vortechs + wavebox for the win!
