#Tunze 6215 wavebox how to#

This water circulation covers the whole tank’s arrangement, with some inequalities, which reflects the natural conditions. It simply means that this wavebox can swirl a important water mass, directly or indirectly, but always effectively. As a result, corals’ polyps sway even if the coral is behind a rock. For tanks from 400 to 1,400 litres (106 to 370 USgal.).Īs you could imagine, Comline 6214 is not only able to make waves but also set the whole water mass in resonance.

Magnet Holder Silence up to a glass thickness of 15 mm (1/2’’).Power supply unit: 100 – 240 V / 50 – 60 Hz, on average 26 W.We can easily imagine every polyps oscillating in the tank.Ĭomline 6214 can deliver more powerful performances as Claude Hug (technical support Tunze France) says: « You have to see it in a 1000L tank (264gal.), it’s impressive! Even in a 3000 l (792gal.) tank, it pulses quiet well if the rocks’ arrangement is not too curbing ». We clearly see when the water mass reaches the tank’s resonance frequency. Here is a video showing the water surface with Wavebox 6214 on a 200 l tank (58 gal.), which is undersized for the pump. It allows you to set the pump’s performance. Hidden button! Potentiometer hidden on the power supply.If needed, you can adjust with the +/- button When the result suit your expactation, press it again to fix the settings. « auto adjust » button, the most usefull of all! Press it and pulses will start from 0.3sec to 3sec.a +/- button to adjust oscillation’s periodicity.« feedtimer » button, to stop the wavebox 7 to 9 min while feeding the tank’s population.2 to set pulses’ duration and their frequency between 2 and 10 sec.15 min later I regreted it and read carefully the user instructions. Happy to get this product, I firstly wanted to adjust the wavebox’ settings by myself without following the user manual. The only action to do with the pump is to put it in the blue foam and put the black seam on it:ħ.: Then we mount the wavebox on the tank’s glass and plug the pump on the power driver: We notice that the magnets are quiet distant from the body and that is a good thing!ĥ. We insert these blue buffers in the box’ body here:Ĥ. Then on internal magnets, which are bigger:ģ. The setup begins with the fixation of the buffers on the external magnetsĢ. It is quiet easy as shown in this step-by-step explanation:ġ. By reading it, we understant that 6214 is not a classic circulation pump: it is an advanced waterflow system for larger tanks with the possibility to get a double oscillation movement.

With these manuals, I don’t only learn how to set up the 6214 but also how it works and its physical principles.

how to get the so desired swell movementĪs you can understand, the user guide (in 6 languages) is not only about operating instructions and differs from usual user guide.

security recommandations to respect, including tank’s manufacturing.

how to mount all piecces (except blue foam and seam).

User guideīefore talking about the material by itself, we have to underline Tunze’s work on user guide.

Tunze release new versions of their waveboxes such as described in Comline 6214’s unboxing. Posté le 3 février 2016 par Sébastien Ruaux
