Aquaclear powerheads

Oh man the Nanostreams are the sweetest little things, especially the 6055 which is controllable.

BTW Bev, a good anemone protection technique for Tunze Streams is the Stream Rock.

fkshiu,

Gadzooks! That fake rock is $90 Doesn't look particularly anemome-proof to me, considering anemones' feet like to grab under rock. I think I'm gonna pass on that one.

I wouldn't recommend Seio for restarts after the pwr goes out.I have to slap my Seio's to restart it.Can't complain about the flow.I have a couple Seio's and a couple MJ1200.The MJ restarts every time.

I have 4 tunzes running on my systems and have never had one fail to re-start after a power outage (and I live in a rural area where the power goes out fairly frequently) nor have I ever had an anemone have a run in with one - and I have 5 anemones - 2 RBTA, 1 GBTA, 1 Seabae and one Green Carpet. I do have my Tunzes positioned quite high in the tank using the magnet holders.
I do have a hagen power head in my 10g nano that always has to be jiggled after the power goes out.

Bev the AC was cleaned no longer than 2 1/2 weeks ago, thanks for the info on the seios Quagmire I didn't know they needed a beating to get stared also....maybe I'll have to dig deep for a tunze
Well seems like a perfect time to move into the new tank no fish to worry about then I will be looking for some new fishez

Murray - how rude of me - I am very sorry for your loss. I had one of my Nano tanks crash this summer because of stupid stupid grape calurpa that went assexual (or whatever it's called) - wiped out everything including my precious little gobies.

I've had 2 seio 620's and never had a problem with them restarting after power outages. I can't say enough good stuff about them.

Ahhh, but they're German-engineered fake rocks

In regards to the Seios, they're not recommended for use on wavemakers because of their re-starting difficulties.

As for the Aquaclears, I find Maxijets more compact and efficient for the flow you get, but I do have a 10+ year-old Aquaclear that is running strong in a FW tank. Although it does cough and hack a while like the old geezer it is on re-start.
