Direct Water Flow a Concern? Tunze Says Have No Fear
For years, reef keeping hobbyists have been preaching about how detrimental direct water flow was in an aquarium full of corals. While most of the arguments seem perfectly reasonable, e.g. coral tissue damage due to high volume direct water flow, Tunze recently wrote about how the aquarium can actually benefit from direct flow. As any [...]
The New Tunze 6095 Nanostream Has Landed
After months of waiting, the Tunze 6095 has finally become available to the public and we’ve got our hands on a pair of them. The photo above is actually one we took while at MACNA since we haven’t had a chance to unbox our very own pumps yet, but we will have a very detailed [...]
Seio Surge Pump Seen in the Wild
Taam has been quietly adding new products to their lineup, with the latest addition being the new Seio Surge Pump which has been shown off extensively at the last two big aquarium trade shows. On the surface, the pump doesn’t look like it’s offering anything different than the other guys. It has an ordinary impeller, [...]
The Sea Sweep Gives Mobility to Water Pumps
While at MACNA, we spied one of the best upgrades you could ever give your in-tank water pumps. The Sea Sweep, made by the same guys who produce the popular Sea Swirl for return pumps, is a nifty device that allows pumps like the Tunze Stream or the Hydor Koralia to be rotated back and [...]
Tunze Demonstrates Water Flow Differences on Video
The now infamous water flow rate study conducted on various propeller based water pumps by Sanford, Straka, and Joshi that was published in Advanced Aquarist a short time back caused quite a commotion in the aquarium community. The initial goal of the study was only to examine a possible way to accurately measure water flow [...]
Tunze Responds to the Water Pump Study
The water pump flow rate study conducted by Michael Sanford, William Straka and Sanjay Joshi and published on Advanced Aquarist has made a giant splash in the aquarium community. The results were so astounding that most hobbyists had to take a double or even triple take, as they challenged the advertised flow rates of well-known [...]
The New Tunze Nanostream 6095
Tunze will be releasing a brand new Nanostream in tYhe near future. The Tunze 6095, as it will be called, will be roughly the same size as the 6055, but produce 2650gph of water flow making it their largest Nanostream ever. That is almost a 1200gph increase over the 6055 that is currently available. As [...]
Tunze Silence Clamp Review
We were recently sent a Tunze Silence Clamp from Roger over at Tunze USA and wanted to share my experience with the device. But before I do, I wanted to clarify that the sound and vibrations generated from my Tunze 6105 water pump while using the original clamp assembly are already very minimal. When all [...]
Powerheads Dangerous to Aquarium Livestock
Water pumps and powerheads are great tools to move water in our aquariums. Water flow itself is extremely crucial to aquarium health and stability, so the use of powerheads is almost unavoidable. Water moving devices come in multiple forms, with the most common of those being propeller-based powerheads and externally driven closed-loop systems. The powerheads [...]
Great Product Support from EcoTech
We were very recently sent an EcoTech Marine VorTech MP10w ES from our newest sponsor Aquarium Specialty for a product review. The pump was working spectacularly for a few weeks, but randomly stopped working. The EcoSmart controller was no longer powering up and the pump wasn’t spinning. Unsure of the issue, I unplugged all of [...]
