kalkwasser Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hi fellow reefers: Just would like to share with you a newly launch wave maker from the US. It's call Vortex. Apparently, outlook does resemble a Tunze from Germany slightly. But operation and performance wise is somehow different. Quite a handsome pump. Reefers out there who is always on the go searching for gadgets. Mr "You know who" might be listening Can find out more here Photograph courtesy of ecotechmarine.

SRC Member BFG Posted July 31, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted July 31, 2006 I had initially wanted to purchase this pump but it was impractical to me as this pump need to be realigned properly and also since my house is usually visited by my relatives who will be bringing with them their kids, who are at the age when they are as curious about everything, I do not want to deal with having to fish out the propeller section and realign it back to the aquarium wall everytime someone tries to move it around like a magnetic algae cleaner. Also, it does not have a controller like Tunze has. I'm getting the TS24 set from Tunze over this. 1 more thing, if you accidentally get the propeller section and the motor section together, you may not have the strength to separate them. So think carefully before making the decision to purchase this. The 2 parts must not come into contact with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ervine Posted August 1, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 1, 2006 hm... but how can you angle the pump? Most of the time our wavemakers are not pointing horizontally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Haha... getting more interesting... yes this product needs a lot more R&D before it can make it into our sophisticated market Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
