Chinese market can't recreate vortech you say? Think again!

[imisky]

isnt that more a tunze 6055 then a vortech....one of the biggest selling feature of the vortech line is the fact that there is no electricity (wires) in the tank. Looks to me like Tunze, so still Chinese cant recreate the vortech

The reef crest is vortech's innovation. Tunze can't do that.

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

Ah arduino...I don't like programming stuffs

I stick with love child....suits better

lol the shape alone screams tunze Dont have to like programming to understand that this isnt a vortech haha, or anywhere close to one. I would guess you can even take the controller and rig it onto a tunze and have a tunze "upgrade"

hey guys, since im a Chinese Canadian here, I did a small research on the new wave maker on the official website in chinese, and also went to check the MSP on the TAOBAO(the chinese version of ebay), your actually looking at $60 for each exclude shipping tho. As a serious hobby into this, I honestly wouldnt risk my tank with this Chinese unmature product, you know even food in China these day is poison etc.

yup, wireless to other ecotech products is always nice too.

Come on give this one some credit
