Water movement takes step forward

[Troy F]

www.reeftec.com Check out this innovative new product by Mike Kirda. There is a review in Advanced Aquarist by Richard Harker (haven't checked yet but Mike says there is). Looks like a winner, anyone wanna buy a slightly used Ampmaster? :D

That looks pretty interesting. Not expensive either. Seems to generate lots of bubbles though.

[Bryan]

I think the bubbles were introduced to show the water movement.

Looks like it's got lots of movement, if the bubbles are not a result of the pump it looks like a good invesment. But it also doesn't look that hard to make.

I am leaving for holidays... but when I get back I plan to work on this one. Darren I'll be in touch. Too many ideas are flowing! (Pun intended)

Very interesting...... but dont you think once you buy the unit then buy the pump and then the wave maker timer the price is a little heavy. Sure does look good though. Amasing what a RC airplane prop can do

Has no-one tried the Ocean Currents units that J&L sells?

Just wondering how they would compare.

[Delphinus]

I wonder if the microfauna suffer the same "sheering stress" as they do in centrifugal pumps. You'd think it might be comparable, but then again ... maybe not as bad?

I wonder how the pump will fare in the long run in such an idea. Since we're now not moving an impeller, but a propeller, the weight of the water displaced is different than intended, etc. etc.

But it is a neat idea. An RC plane prop. That never occured to me. I once thought about using an old fan blade, but decided it probably was too much work to figure out how to make it spin under water ... :D
