![]() So I think another one of the Tunzes is starting to crap out. One of the waveboxes chatters pretty badly lately, I tried cleaning it out but I can't find anything inside the impeller assembly. It will turn for a while but eventually just sort of stutters. It still moves water but like 10% of what it should be pushing.
I might ping Roger Vitko on this but does this sound like a motor drive unit failure? It's one of the old style 6200's. Anyone with a wavebox or a 6200 on its own that I could borrow an impeller from for an afternoon so I can see if it's the impeller? I'd order a new one but if that's not it then that's sort of a waste.

![]() Well, got the Tunzes straightened out for now. It turns out that a 6261 which is the wavebox pump, is a 6100 but uses a 6200 propeller and cover. So I swapped out the pump for the one remaining 6100 I had in the tank and now both boxes are operational again. I replaced the 6100 with a 6105 from tinman who was selling two of them on the board recently.
Also I learned something about the waveboxes and it turns out I was doing something wrong with them. ![]() ![]() Amazing the difference in polyp extension having those things running right though. Some random pictures... I can't seem to get pictures in focus .. EVER ![]() I think this is a green slimer. It was given to me as a much larger piece but started RTN'ing after a day so I fragged the tips off, attached them to the disk, and threw out the bottom part. A solid 2" of decent sized coral I threw out but I wasn't going to risk keeping it if was peeling back like that. Luckily the tips seemed to recover and are growing quickly now. The colour in the picture is off, this is a super bright yellow/green but I dialed the aperture right down so that it wouldn't show up as overexposed in the picture ... I guess I overcompensated but at least you can see the polyps and stuff. ![]() Purple loripes from Snappy: ![]() Two toned Bali piece from a couple weeks ago .. colour settling nicely: ![]() Blasto: ![]() Cali tort starting to take off: ![]() Blue milli from Bluetang - blue for some reason doesn't show up well in the photos but it is a neat piece in person: ![]() Red Planet from Lorenzo, really taking off now and is a real stunner in person: ![]() Also here is a real quick video of the Duncans swaying in the waves. Wasn't sure how to link to it with a preview image so here's just the URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoPUEbvqbiw Thanks for looking ![]()
