New tunze power heads?

tom obrecht · 05/17/2016, 03:24 PM

I saw on another site that Tunze is announcing a new line of powerheads at Interzoo. Anyone have inside secrets?

mcgyvr · 05/17/2016, 04:31 PM

Is this the other site?

oh... nevermind.. guess its one of those banned sites for some reason..

We will find out soon enough. Isn't it next week?

Potatohead · 05/19/2016, 01:28 PM

Wouldn't be surprised because I bought a pair of 6045's from an online retailer and noticed shortly after (maybe ten days ago) they had taken them off the site

gcarroll · 05/19/2016, 03:04 PM

I'm looking forward to it!

tom obrecht · 05/19/2016, 03:26 PM

If I had to guess they are working towards a "no cord in the tank" version. But I have nothing to back this up. Love my tunzes and can't wait to see what it is.

That would be awesome and I would want to switch my vortechs out for that. Tunze customer service is amazing (not knocking ecotech) but the ability to control direction of flow would be sweet.

Tunze Headquarters FB page has some teaser pics. There's a new Stream-like pump but only half of it is visible. There's also a new calcium reactor and what appears to be some kind of controller.

biecacka · 05/26/2016, 07:17 PM

Any updates on these? I seen the controller information.

Interzoo is this weekend. I would expect further information sometime over the weekend.

Saltwatercoral2 · 05/26/2016, 08:24 PM

There is a video floating around of them. Not able to link to it from my phone

ReefCowboy · 05/26/2016, 08:46 PM

I love it, but bought it actually by mistake thinking it was a microphone

chercm · 05/26/2016, 10:21 PM

It is big man but no video on how well it runs

Yeah I seen the video....great technology with the floating shaft etc. just was personally hoping for something else.

The video that's floating around....so cheese.

5 year warranty, nice. it may be on the larger size but can be easy to hide behind the rock

Bent · 05/27/2016, 07:11 AM

Why don't they make any that rotate?

smatter · 05/27/2016, 07:25 AM

The output can be directed via a deflector.

I think they had fun though

Imitating Apple like that etc. I think they were doing this

to us aquarium nerds.

wcharon · 05/27/2016, 10:38 AM

Do somebody knows what is the wattage and the flow for the one advertised? For me they look big but maybe they will come with less flow and smaller at some point.

Yeah but they don't rotate back and forth in the tank.

Exactly.

Fish street has a motor that rotates them, but at 65 bucks I'm hesitant to try it.

I too was thinking it might be something other than a new power head version. My tunzes now are close to silent, move a lot of water and don't use much electricity. Not sure why I would need to switch? I really thought it would be a no chord in the tank version. Oh well I'm sure they will be awesome even tho I will stick with what I have.
