$345! what a steal :lol: who wants a pair?

 

[golfish]

Its a great idea but the price is way off. I'm sure its going to be a good seller.

 

[Zaphod]

It is very competativly priced against the tunze. They are really going to tske some of tunzes market share. say goodbye to drilling tanks and closed loops!!

 

[dattack]

Anybody in Socal own one? I want to see it in action.

 

[sinned]

I would like to try one but it might be too much for my 50g.

Dennis, you can turn them down like a Tunze. At the moment, I don't think the controller or battery backup is available, but you can manually dial them down.

I had on running in my 20 gallon display at the SW-CFM. Very impressive from a flow standpoint. Lets see how long before people complain about the heat from the pump motor and control box. I know, I know the motor is on the outside. That may be true but some of that heat just might transfer to the tank from the motor even through the glass. BTW the temp issue was only an issue when running full blast. Maybe they have fixed this issue in the production model.

How big is the unit inside the tank? If it is not too large, maybe I will get it for my 24 g nano.

You want to put a 300$ pump in a nano?

I bow to you!

 

[Bebo77]

lol the water would not stay in the tank.. lol

 

[818]

Yea it can Gabe. You can tune that monster down to 100gph, then when you want to wet your neighbor across the street you can tune it up to 3000gph!!!

If it works well, I would get it. I think it is rated down to 20 g tank. I am keeping SPS so intermediate high flow is not a problem. The Tunse is just too big of a unit to go into a 24 g. I can always use it in a bigger tank later if I want.
I was reading the other thread. Seem like not all the bugs are out of production yet, so I think I will wait on it.
What 300 when some of us, I included, sometime spend up to several hundred for some of the animal we keep. I used to pay 300+ a month in electricity for my tank.
