hi all. i have a 90g corner but im finally realizing a dream and building a 240 tall into my wall. anyway i want to do everythign right on this tank so im going to go with a 3.5 to 4" bed of bahamas oolite ultra fine sand. my question is this, im planning on a wavebox and 2 6100 streams. # 1- do u think this is enough movement ( i believe the tan is 72 x 24 x 31??). #2 will the water movement keep the fine sand in a suspension forever?? should i just go with a larger grain to prevent this from happening?? #3 will the wavebox mess with the performance of the overflow that is on the side of the tank??

The wavebox works best with the overflow centered on the back wall, end over flows will be louder (splash) and make for a shorter wave. The wavebox tends to cause the sand to form dunes, it doesn't lift it very much, the 6100's are more likely to cause this but it is a very deep tank so I think you should be OK.
