They are worth them IMO. I have two of the 6100's.

 

[Bebo77]

yup nothing can compete with them in the market today...

 

[reef_dude76]

I am thinking of using them in my 180 sps reef. I was thinking of two 6100 with the multicontroller in addition to my sequence dart main return pump.

 

[reef_dude76]

Also, why are they so friggin expensive?

That is not a bad combination IMO.

I will be using 3 6100's with a multicontroller and either a Dart or Barracuda with my 210 that I am setting up.

AHH that explains it. I now understand why they cost so stinking much. This same thing holds true in the model railroad hobby.

 

[turtlespd]

yup

When you buy a package like the TZ24 from marine depot, that comes with the streams and a controller, is there any other equipment that comes with the kit?

What I mean is, all that is shown on the site are two pumps and a controller box, on a few threads around here I where people have taken pics of their tanks, I will see a big grey metal box with TUNZE printed on the side in blue, is this the actul controller box? I ask because if this is part of the equipment I need to know to plan for space to use it.

 

[Markk96]

The metal box is standard with the Tunze, if you get a package deal, you will get everything you need.

 

[reef_dude76]

How big are these separate boxes?

 

[reef_dude76]

and are they typically mounted?

 

[tangreef68]

you should think of closed loops instead with a sequence, and maybe one tunze inside, it would not clutter up the tank that much.

 

[dirtyreefer]

Nope, you gotta buy the magnets which are well worth it IMO

They are the best, I have the same kit in my 180 - two 6100s with controller and I also just added a wavebox and it is awesome. All well worth the money

 

[fishman805]

Don't count out the Seios .... They're the only other pump that's designed similar to the Tunzes but for alot less money... You can't control them with a wavemaker though.... I've got two 1500's running in my 150gal.. very good laminar flow pattern very similar to the Tunze.... They've also put out a new 2400 model ( 2400gal/hour )....

Worth a look IMO
