| Going down the TUNZE route OK, I've been to see a few tanks recently in my area and have been SO impressed with people that use the Tunze Stream Pumps . . . . so i've decided to ditch my 5xmaxijet 1200's Powerheads and go down the Tnuze Stream route. So last week I purchased a Tunze 6100 Stream (a monsterous 3175Gallons per hour) which immediatley doubled the turnover of the 5 maxijets. I was amazed HOW much detritues suddenly got kicked into the water column that must have been in dead spots in the LR. I'm having to do it gradually due to the cost of the things but soon I'm going to purchase a Tunze 7095 Controller and another 6100 Stream. I loe the advantage this controller has over others in that it can switch the pumps on alternatly, gently bringing them online from 30% power output on to 100% and then back down again, before bringing on the other pump. The intervals can obviously be set manually. From what i've seen in other tanks, this gives a real surge effecf over the croals, with the flow alternating from one end of the tank to the other. Anyway, thought I'd share, and see if anyone else has gone the Tunze route
Take care all
