Thats basically a tunze wave box with an acrylic box instead of their black abs box.

Tunze pumps are designed to do that.......you can pickup used tunze pumps pretty cheap, but you need to make sure you get a controllable version.

I used to run Tunze,  They were huge pumps, took up too much of the tank.  And they were a PITA to clean.

Pretty sure you have to buy the expensive DC pumps to be able to switch from "suck" to "blow"
