Right now I have the two larger ones and two 6100 tunze's on my large tank. I have one of the smaller ones in my sump to prevent crud from settling there and I have the other smaller one in my nano tank.

My 6045 runs well, but won't restart when unplugged

The impeller shaft on my first 6025 completely rusted and broke off within a month. It was replaced at the store (thanks, Colby, you rock...woot woot! ok...got carried away). The second nano sometimes has issues restarting right away when unplugged. One time it took me over 100 times unplugging and plugging back in, before it started up. Most of the time, it's ok though.

It works really well, though. Convenient, inconspicuous, etc.

I was told the nanostreams cannot be used with a controller, is this true? Is there a way to get around this?

I believe that's right...and I'm not sure there would be any way to get around it.

cool, thanks for the feedback. Was considering whether the price difference between a nano-stream and a seio was worth it. It seems the nano-stream is a model line-up to compete with the seio for price by providing a little more innovation for a little more money.

You can wait until the 6055 Nanostream comes out. That ones controllable.

Check RC - there's some discussion of using the nanostreams and the hydors on the new TAAM wavemaker - apparently it's worked quite well. Doesn't bring the powerheads down to a dead stop, instead adjusting frequency being fed to reduce flow/power. (Read it worked well on the maximod too)

this is posted by a Tunze rep on reefcentral:

"They need a long interval of at least 15 minutes to keep a decent service life. They will last longer the less they are switched. It is possible that periodically, especially as they become dirty, that they will run backwards. It is not ideal but within limits, it is possible."

the first time i plugged my nanostreams in, one ran backwards. unplugged it...plugged it back in, no problems. i've shut them down only once since then, and both needed a few restarts to run correctly.

The impeller shaft on my SECOND 6025 has just rusted and broke off and is causing a horrible sound. Grrr.

Should I try a third time and hope for better luck?
