They have recreated some of the special affects of vortech and not the look. Like Kien said, its the love child. Maybe the second one will have the look of vortech  |
reef crest is a set of codes that we ourselves can program into an arduino board. I wouldnt say that is what Vortechs are really known for, and to be honest Tunzes can do "reef crest" if they actually used a programmable controller (PWM) instead of a timer based (hardware) controller. Though that's not to say you cant make reef crest with hardware timers and a little variable resistor, but thats not very efficient.
When you ask anyone in the hobby/ industry what vortechs are, the first thing that'll pop into their minds I would guess would be the features of it being magnet driven and no electricity in water.
Still not a vortech
its more a tunze with more modes
