I would get tunze stream pumps on a multi-controller. You can do a lot of things with the controller.

In a 75 I would think about the wave box. Once it was set up and running I would think about adding one of the Korillias or a nano stream if the flow isn't where you want it.

Wave2k, I will upload my video to youtube and post the search code (since you can't link vid
). Basically a video of some xenia in my 125 swaying in the waves. Really, really cool (natural).

Hey bud! I haven't seen you around here too much. Yea, sucks about UCF, the worst part was the 15hr drive in an RV to Memphis for the bowl game

Love the 2k so far. I've had it in pretty full operate since I got the 125 up, July/August'ish.
Well, it's not silent. It's a belt turning 2 pulleys with a big motor. After a good bit of tinkering I got the belt alignment down to it's a lot better. Probably as loud as 2, 4" PC fans on full speed. I used to have it on a timer (9am-3am), just a small break for the fish. With some corals now in there, it's on 24/7. You could easily build a box to enclose it though and that would make it near silent. There is a slight 'thud' when it reverses flow (top to bottom), but that's only audible within a foot or two of the tank.

I've seen both the Wave2k and Tunze wavebox in opperation, and I think I like the Tunze better. They make awsome stuff.
Personally, in a 75 I think it would take up so much room and not really give you what you're looking for. Just my opinion though.

In a 75 I would go with the 2k over a tunze wavebox, the wavebox would stick out too much, my LFS has one in a 220, it would take too much room in a 75.
