A couple of pics of my Tunze 6025 mod and connection to my two 3/4" Swirls. The Tunze mod has been out there for a couple of months now with a ton of success.
The thread that started the Tunze mod is here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1025361
What I did plus more mods for even more flow, check it out, it's good info.
Well here is my try at it! I cut the plastic tube inside the 6025, my buddy has a dremel and it cut through it like butter! From what is reported, flow increase should be around 300 - 400 gph!
My return pump is a Mag12 and that's not going to be enough for two Swirls so I decided to keep the return plumbing as is and just mod the two swirls to carry the new modded Tunze 6025.
I took off the 90 elbow and replaced with two 1" PVC caps. These things are extremely snug and I have all the confidence that they will hold. I used two part epoxy to glue the swing bracket to the 1" cap. Now my pump can be turned anyway that I want as it swings and it will be super easy to disconnect for cleaning.
I wish I had black or even grey PVC but I couldn't wait. I know that this will be covered by corraline quickly so no worries.
I haven't tried it out yet, it's still drying! I'll get back once I have them going!!!
