Holly cow talk about high prices

Is it me or is Australia paying double almost?

That would be because the Australian dollar is worth about 75c and it is about as far from Germany as you can get- shipping is a huge cost.

Wow glad I live here

BTW thanks for getting me my wavebox propellor to Aquarium Arts so quick you rock . BTW what would cause the lil plastic tabs on the brake system to wear out so quick?

I can turn the magnet while holding the prop.

What model pump?

 

[clkwrk]

the one that comes with the wavebox 6200 I believe

 

[rvitko]

Ah, what I have seen happen there is the lime builds up between the shaft and magnet and locks the brakes partially out and they rub down to nubs.

 

[clkwrk]

okay . Even with less than 6months use? Either way I got a replacement so I am happy .

Can a non brake version assembly be used? What effect would that have on wave making ?

 

[rvitko]

Yes, 6200.70 has no brakes, all waveboxes since about a year ago have used that part. It was primarily designed to accelerate production but it does seem more robust. It has no effect on performance except it can be a few decibels less or more noisy.

:lol: your right the replacement I just opened has no brakes

I don't want to turn this into a bashing of the Aussie distributor of Tunze, but ... Singapore is not that far away from Australia and they get their Tunze gear a lot cheaper than here in Australia. I should know, I bought my Tunze from Singapore and I am very happy with it
