6100 keeps moving

[maryrosi]

I have it mounted on a magnetic holder and face it towards the reef, but the power of it keeps it moving towards an angle that points to the glass at the front of the tank. Any ideas on how to keep is stationary to where I point it?

Also, I bought it used with a 7091 contoller and wondered if there is directions somewhere that I can read on the unit and controller?

Thanks for any help!

Go to a hardware store and buy a long enough nylon bolt to fit through the hole as well as a nut and a 2 washers.
Works like a champ.

As Chevell pointed out in the other thread, there is a part that comes with the streams that works great to lock the Tunze's into place.

It's about 1" by .5" and has 2 threaded holes in it. Just use the provided nylon screw through the hole in the mounting bracket and place the part (I just mentioned) on top of the tunze to act like a 'nut'. It will lock into place nicely. I'll see if I can get some pictures...
