das tunze is a just a bit louder then the old ehiem 1250 i was running...
not to impressed so far actualy.. i did a water change this morning i went to plugthe pump back in and ....... nothing... not even a hum sound like the impeller is jamed... lots of bad language and a bit of fiddling... as in taking the return apart and pulling the pump out then putting it back in it started working again... so a few mins later i tryed it again and same thing happend.. ssooo its going back on the weekend and seeing if a replacment will change anything. anyone think it could be like a MH bulb and has to cool down a bit first to fire back up.. because it will only start when i remove it from the water and put it back in...????

My Hydor pump is exactly like that. The impeller spins but it won't push water unless it sucks air first. Doesn't seem to be a heat/cooling issue .. I'm not sure why it's like that.

One of the sedra pumps that feeds a euro-reef skimmer at the shop does that...we have to stick a finger in the input briefly and that seems to kick start it. Might be worth a try.

Well i never took the pump back because it started being normal. maybe it just had to break in?
Also went out and spent the rest of my bday money and bought a nice gold maxima and got a 2 for 1 florida ric at OA. 2 for 1 coral!... I dont think any reef person in there right mind could pass that up. Will take some picteres later if im not to lazy to bust out the camra.
