Re: WaveMaker made simply... (not easy)
John,
in theory, it is possible.
factor various depends on:
- holiday busy schedule
- need someone's help to make a wave box for the koralias (any volunteer? Tom will help to post the dimension of the box soon?)
- need to get the parts and make the...
so, in another words...
MAY BE we can do it with the TUNZE 6000 - then? "with a variable frequency drive."
on the web, "people" keep saying it is a the 6000 is a AC pump, if stop, it will wore it out... in this case, we can slow it down... and I already have the pump and wavebox - which can...
we are trying to experiment just that...
- to have TWO wavebox on ONE side to be on/off @ the same time... (need the EXTRA wavebox done first)
- or, have one on each side, to be ON/OFF @ opposite timming... (need some time to build the circuit)
- with one Tunze 6200...
- also Tom is testing...
in theory it would, if you have a lots of crazy current in the tank already, it may have a smaller wave.
as you can see from yesterday demo, the water moved everywhere inside the tank, no more dead spot...
;)
if you need to build with a T5 retro kit, instead of straight across horizontally, you probably can hook up the light bulbs with a little bit angle as DIAGONAL to compensate the different in length if needed.
Andy and Jeanne,
- great host and charming hostess - very warm welcome.
- a great meeting - nice jump start photo 101 class.
- excellent food - that hot dog stuff are great! hot and spicy - yummy!!
- warm and welcoming house - great tank and cool basement.
Thank you to letting us to meet at...
Candi,
my guess is you already have the fixture, so getting a new set of T5s would not be an easy option.
if you can post some pics it may help to see exactly where is the problem area...
I have a similar problem on my canopy, i ended up with put some pieces of woods inside and closed to the...
update:
We got 7 pics so far.
The 11/2008 photo submission will be closed by Sunday @ 11:59pm.
Any pics submit after that time would be in the next month's (12/2008) contest.
Best Regards,

suggestions:
(1) for people that are interested, started a new thread for the parts small group buy on the side?
(2) if anyone going to this saturday's monthly meeting, and can bring a TUNZE 6100, or TUNZE 6200 along, i can bring the WaveBox and the circuit to show it to you all how it work...
Mike (NEWSALT),
- here is the total from my invoice (total of 4 set) from www.AllElectronics.com, some of them sold as a package of 10 or so, therefore would be some extra parts.
- i originally went to local stores near by you to get a quote (R.S., and G.E.), but a one set cost $109!! i sort...
Merv,
compared to all your great works illustrated before, this is nothing man...
it is just the damn symbols are confusing ... just get the parts and insert them in, flip it over, solder them, that's all...
;)
