Nano Streams, When Can We Get Them?
- Thread starter tanglovers
- Start date
I couldn't get through today, I called a dozen times or more. I will try again tomorrow but this is a tough week as if I recall daylight savings time ends a week later in Germany, first weekend of Nov instead of last in Oct, so it is now an 8 hour time difference and I have less waking hours to try to reach them.

pre ordered 6055
Hi roger. I talked to you about a month ago on the phone about pre ordering a 6055. you told to go to Aquarium Specialty which I did and preordered one with controller and photo cell. Ive been waiting to add more sps's untill I get the pump. my question is, are they still planning to be on time for shipment or are they going to be held up like the 6025 and 6045? you said early/mid december.. is that still the plan? thanks

On the 6055 I am unsure, I am fairly certain the factory will do everything they can to get them out before they close for the year on Dec 24th. The 6045 will start shipping in 3 weeks, the mold is out for tempering and that has been what has delayed the 6045, they expect the mold back next week and production should begin the following week as next week they will finish up the 6025 run.

I'm getting ready to setup a 40 gallon breeder w/ a 20 gallon sump. I want to use the nanostreams. I am wondering which would be the better solution: 2 or 3 6025's or 2 6045's I like the flow from the 6045's but I am afraid they will kick up sand from the bottom. (The tank is only 16"inches deep. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
This is almost exactly the size of my tank, although it's a different shape. After all sorts of wild guessing, I'm going with 2 6025s, for the simple reason that they're coming out soonest....I also have a pair of 6045s on pre order in case my tank would tolerate more flow w/out a sandstorm. Lately I've been thinking the 6025s will suffice; Roger says they "cover a 18"x24" area." I suspect your decision, like mine, could be made easier by availability of the 6025s, unless you're still a few weeks away from setting up your tank.
I had a 40 breeder a few years back with an iwaki 20rxt return (600 gph) plus 4 maxijets once the corals started growing in. 4 maxijets is still less flow in gph than a pair of 6025s, but until they actually come out and we can get a idea of how the flow characteristics look, it will be really difficult to predict how to use them.

Thanks for the response. Availability is not really an issue for me because I am not going to have the tank up and running for another 2 or 3 months. I already have the tank stand and sump but I am waiting until tax return time to make the bulk of my equipment purchases. As for now its research, research, research. I have setup up tanks in the past by just buying whatever, which leads to mistakes and a lot of wasted $$.
The 40 breeder is 36"L X 18"W X 16"D. If the 6045's wouldnt cause a sandstorm I would love to try them because their flow nearly doubles the 6025 with a minimal power usage increase.
Either way it looks like these powerheads will be the best thing since sliced bread.
