Tunze Nano 6025???

[Donkeykong]

I was contemplating getting a mp10 for my 40breeder. But figured I could get 2 tunze for the price and since I have an Apex just hook them up to timers. But will this model of tunze handle being turned off and on like this? Are they noisy on restart. I have a Tunze Silence return pump and it is dead silent even on start up, but I have no experience with the powerheads. I dont want these things to fail on me cause the cant handle 5 minute incremental on/off and I dont want rattling every 5 minutes as these things alternate. Any and all input is appreciated.

I would ask Roger in Tunze forum but IIRC 15 minutes is recommended interval.

I have a 6025 (and 6015) plugged into my apex and switch it off sometimes to take pics from the top. When I switch it back on it makes a quick chatter. I personally like the Tunzes having had a couple vortechs in the past. I ended up with a 6015 in my 25 display and 2 6025s in my frag system. If I was looking for wavemaking capabilities Iwill admit the Vortech as many more options than lets say a 6055 and controller.
