Clark Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Suppose you are trying to buy/build a wavebox for a 55g tank (36x16x19h), about how much water volume does the box need to hold in order to form waves? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 2 - 3 quarts. Depends on how fast the chamber is being evacuated. A Tunze might be moving just a pint or two in some applications. Are you thinking of a DIY wavemaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yes, yes I am I have an Arduino controller I'm about to put into service for an ATO/etc., a spare Koralia Nano pump, and upcoming vacation time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Not sure if the nano pump is going to give you enough push or not. Guess it would depend on the size of the box. The Tunze pump in the nano wavebox was pretty heavy duty if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Upon further reading, I don't think it will either. More ideas for cheap DIY wavebox are coming to mind... I'll post results in the DIY section if I get time to do some experiments. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I just remember something about evacuating the box at a really high rate of speed and if I remember my nano koralia correctly, that thing pushed less water than me blowing out water at the end of a straw.

I'd pay to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's called the Tybo TT40. The Tybo TT60 was going to be released in Spring of next year but we haven't found a production company that will produce straws of that size yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They specialize in enlarging straws.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 My thread has been hijacked. Terribly, terribly hijacked. Anyway, I've dropped my plans for a wm. The motion would be too fast in my little 55g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
