April 24, 201115 yr comment_431109 Yeah I use a DIY copy of the Tunze wave box. They work really well, but you need a DC pump like the Tunze an AC pump will kill itself with all the starting and stopping. Report

You can get a similar affect with out using a box but it wont work anywhere near as well. It's a bit like saying T8's will give the same affect as halides, true, but only actually enough for a small % of marine tanks. Also it's actually very difficult to get cheap DC pump, don't be confused by cheap low voltage AC pumps. Report
