any info on tunze turbelle stream pump?

[gerry45]

these pumps sure look good!

the 6060 even has controller to control flow,feeding pause and auto slowdown for night time.

anyone have any knowledge about these? here is link:http://www.tunze.com/149.html?&L=1&C..._tunzeprod_pi1[predid]=-infoxunter025

what other pumps do you all like for your reef?

my tank is 75 gallon.

I have a Tunze 6060, but it does not have those features. I believe only the 6000, 6100, and 6200 models are controlable.

I don't think the 6060 is controllable either; we have two of them in our 75 and enjoy the flow in the tank If I had it to do over I think I would have gotten one of the larger models that was controllable and stuck with just one of them.

I have a 6100. And it really moves some water. It can be controled - water flow, feeding button etc. It would be the next step up from 6060.

I have a pair of 6100 pumps on a MultiController. They create a lot of flow and are very efficient. They do need fairly frequent cleaning. The tolerances are tight and a little calcium buildup will jam them up. Mine get soaked in vinegar about every two months.

Same here, I have two 6100's in my 90g. Best toys I have in my tank.

I third the 6100's. They add a lot of motion and the programming feature is really nice. I've had mine running since March and never cleaned it . . . . It seems to be running great. Should I soak preemptively? or wait until it shows signs that the performance is being impeded?

I like the Tunze's too! I have a 6060 in my 90 and it works GREAT!

Before hand. You'd be surprised how the calcium deposits can reduce the flow of the pump. I like to do it once a month or so.
