Joel, whats driving that, motor size,gears, etc?. I found something at American Science surplus, Pinball motors turns 90dig. heavy duty the only problem its too fast, 5rpm,Im looking for some thing,would slow the motor down. That was a brilliant idea man,I have 2 6200,if could make'em swivel,my growing acros. would love it even more. Thanks, Bud.

Menard, it's just a 3/4" sea-swirl. Easy as pie to do. Just hand the rails on some pvc and attach to the output of the swirl.

hey ostrow

if you can find them, they use to make a product that held powerheads the same way. I believe champion lighting use to carry them.

Does anyone know if the motor in the 1" Swirl is larger or stronger than the 3/4" Swirl motor? I have a new 1" swirl and I'm thinking of trying a Tunze Swirl mod myself.

 

[ostrow]

I believe they are the same.

The pump ate my Kole Tang. By all appearances it was perfectly healthy, very fat, eating constantly both in tank and prepared. A wreck now, clearly on the way out though still eating.

I wonder if the swirling caused some current that made the intake stronger? Sad... Tunze off for now...

 

[JellyTheory]

The Tunze pump ate your Tang? Could you explain a little more?

Thanks in advance and sorry it happened.

Sucked into the intake

 

[JellyTheory]

Isn't the intake for the Tunze's a small grate that surrounds the propeller? I have some tunze 6100 and just don't want to run into the same problem.

thanks!
