Stream mounting and 7095 on/off

[ckusnierek]

Hey Roger, Just a few questions for ya!

I have 4 6100's on 6080 mounts. They have all become worn and the pumps are pointing down at about 10 degrees. Would replacing the hardware help with this. It's the hinge part that attaches to the Mag mounts and the other part that attaches to the stream. They are all just very "loose"

What are those 2 part numbers? 6080.23 for the hinge I think but I cannot remember the other. And are those still available?

Also I run them off a 7095. I have a automatic feeder and was wonder if I have my controller shut off all 4 pumps once a day during feeding time would that cause any long term issues with the controller?

Thanks!
-Chris

The 6080.230 post piece typically is loose on the magnets and this is the cause of most of the downward pointing. They were deliberately made loose so they could be easily removed even after some coralline growth, the best thing to fix this is to cut up some scrap laminate or an old credit card or ID and shim between the magnet and post. New ones may or may not help. They are still available but presently out of stock, we expect more in 2 weeks. 6080.230 and 6080.400, you might also consider 6200.230, it is an improved later version, it works the same but is more secure becuase of a clamp down screw.

There is no issue with shutting off the pumps for feeding.
