I would really like to go with a Tunze Wavebox in my new tank but I'm not sure how effective it will be in a shallow tank. The tank is a rimless 200g that is only 23.5 inches deep (Elos 160xl). The tank is also pretty wide at around 31.5". The wavebox 6212 is 11.5 inches deep so even if it was all the way at the top of the tank, the pump is still about halfway down inside. Due to the aquascaping, it looks like the live rock will block a lot of the flow from the wavebox and prevent it from making a decent wave. Has anyone else delt with this and how did it work? I've included a diagram for reference.
