Tunze turbelle on the market

[Willito]

I am considering the Tunze with multiple controllers and I am not too sure what's new or current on the market. Looking at J&L's website I do see a bunch of models available, but they are so confusing

If anyone could, please set me in the right direction. I guess I need to know what controller is good with what pump?

Also where is the cheapest place to for Tunze?

There are two versions of streams, those that are speed controllable and those that are not. The controllable ones (6000, 6100, 6200) can be used with any of the Tunze controllers (single or multi). There's a new multicontroller coming out (I don't know if it's available yet), the 7095, which has a few new whiz-bang features. It's not listed on J&L's website but it is listed at premiumaquatics.com (but as "0 currently available").

Excellent, thanks Tony. Do you have Tunze for yourself?

[Delphinus]

No, I'd like to save up for a pair though and a multicontroller.

I tried a 6100 about a year and a half ago on my 75g but at the time it was actually not a good fit for my tank, owing to how short my tank is and how tall my reef structure is. I would say you need some clear open area, either on top or on the area nearest the stream for it to properly "fan out". If you have that open space however, then I think they are a good way to move water.

I have two complaints, one they're huge (outboard motor huge), and two they're ridiculously expensive. However, they use very little electricity so that's good, and they do put out a nice fan shaped flow.

Canadian Man has a pair in his tank, although I'm not certain what model they are.

I'm running a 6080 (not controlled) on the left side of the tank and a 6100 (controlled) on the right side of the tank.

Very nice pieces.

Very expensive pieces = ****ed off spouse(if applicalbe).

Very worth it though. I get 6000 ish gallons per hour for something like 50 watt's of electricity from those two items where as my single return pump which is a little giant is something like 120w of elec and put's out 1200gph.

Ramble, ramble, ramble.

Cheers

Same here. A great purchase, if you can sneak it past the spouse!

I guess ****ed may not be the right word because Katie didn't really care. It was more like how can that little thing cost $500

Hey Jon, is your 6100 on a single controller?

[Canadian Man]

Yes it's a single controller.

They never say that when you hand them an engagement ring.
