Reybeast Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Not to brag, but the wife and I had a very good time at MACNA (didnt win anything in the raffle though) . But we got to talk to all kinds of folks and vendors and got a lot of freebies! I can say I did score (2) MP40's with controllers for a VERY good price. Havnt installed them yet due to fears that I'll crank them up and the wave will grow while I am away. btw, they also had an MP60 running, its pretty good size, but was moving the water very well. I was really impressed with the (2) Mp10s they had in a tank (P9040087), the water was literally flexing up and down in the center, it was quite odd to see. The MP40s they had in the tank were also making one heck of a wave ,see p9040085 and P9040086, the two pics were taken a few seconds apart. Notice the distance the water has dropped on the left end of the tank. There was also a great dinner buffet on the first night and an excellent dinner on the second night. I would say everything was done very well, no problems and I would go again in a heartbeat. Macna 2011 is supposed to be in Iowa though, dont know about that. Attached some pics. btw, they gave away a 300G marine land tank (among others) with everything you could want, (delivered to the winner's house!).

Robb in Austin Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Nice write up Rey. Thanks for sharing. You realize you've just thrown gasoline on the Vortech v Wavebox fire that was just about out, right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 What's a MACNA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Robb seriously? I mean come on. What are those, 10g tnaks? I could lift them from side to side if I wanted to make a wave in it. Those are itty bitty tnaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reybeast Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 the mp10s were on a ~20g, and the 40's were on a ~58gallon. We'll know more when i put the mp40s on my 90G this weekend. I'll take pics/ video to add fuel to the mp vs wavebox fire. i forgot to mention, I got a picture with Nichelle Nichols (Lt Uhura from original Star Trek). She happened to be at that hotel for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadodge Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 The other thing...WHO wants to have a tank where the water line is 9"-12" LOW to create a wave that big? Its assinign. I can lower the water level in my 120G DT by 6" also and move the wavebox (nano) down and make a 4" wave also. The look of a tank with a waterline that low SUCKS!!! I'll stick with my wavebox. This is just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird123 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I believe the wavebox is still the winner...hands down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
