Are Tunze's worth the money? - Page 5

hahnmeister · 07/28/2006, 01:24 PM

Mmmmm Famke... I'd :fun1: her...lol. MJAnferson's biggest (almost only) contribution to the thread so far is "Mmmm...Famke Janssen"... too funny. Thanks, I needed that.

.No, no Tunzes...they arent out yet. Besides, I would need a 110v controller and all anyways and its too early for the nano-streams... but I might snag them when I go later this year.

dhnguyen · 07/28/2006, 02:16 PM

Actually I believe it is pronounced "toon" & "zeh"

The umlaut over the u would make it pronounce like "tee-oon" instead of "toon" Well not exactly "tee-oon" but as close as I can make it.

My German is somewhat rusty so I might be speaking outta my a** too

dhnguyen · 07/28/2006, 02:24 PM

@ Mmmmm... Famke Janssen comment as well

Only thing is she's not eine Deutsche MÃ¤dchen

She's Dutch I think.

hahnmeister · 07/28/2006, 02:27 PM

Im positive "mah MJ-stream moddin' & nose pickin' engineer", its just like when someone says 'duh'...ok, maybe thats not good enough since some people do say 'duh' with a slight 'a' sound to it. I mean it soungs like 'uh', as in "uh, I just got punched in the stomach and I went 'uh' " Or, 'uggo'..."boy, she is a real UGGO" ('ugly', lol).

Hey, you can take it up with my GF though. She lived in Germany for 6 years growing up and still speaks on the phone in German nearly every day... but she's not infallible...dont tell her I said that, as far as she knows I think she is a 'Uberfrau' <<< there is a umlaut on first the 'U' in this case for the 'ooo' sound.

dhnguyen · 07/28/2006, 02:36 PM

of course you also have to factor in the dialect spoken as well. I know a lot fo the northen folks pronounce Ich as "isch" for example and not "ikh"

But anyway...

Famke bio:
Famke Janssen was born November 5, 1965 in Amersterdam, Netherlands among two other siblings. Moving to America in the 1980s she modeled for Chanel moving to New York. Later, taking a break from modeling, she attended Columbia University. Majoring in literature.

This model turned actress broke into Hollywood in the early 1990s. Her first film was Father & Sons, later she became James Bond's enemy in GoldenEye (1995). Her career has bloomed from then starring in such films as House on Haunted Hill, Hide and Seek, a reoccurring role on FX's 'Nip Tuck' and the blockbuster movies X-Men I,II & III

Famke Trivia:
Her two sisters are blonde and blue-eyed, while she is the only brunette.

Was cast as Serleena in Men in Black II (2002), but had to drop out due to a death in the family. Lara Flynn Boyle was cast in her place.

Speaks Dutch, German, English and French.

Offered the lead female role in _Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)_ , but turned it down.

Sisters Antoinette Beumer and Marjolein Beumer are a director and actress respectively.

Wears size 11 shoes. Because of their large size, her shoes had to be specially made for her for the film GoldenEye (1995).

Measurements: 36-24-36 (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)

Provides the Dutch-language narration for the Studio Tram Tour at Disney parks.

While appearing on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993) to promote her role of the sex-crazed assassin in the James Bond film GoldenEye (1995), Famke gave Conan a first hand experience of her character's signature moves by performing them on him using the top of his desk. When she asked him if he would like the demonstration, Conan responded with "This is what we in the industry call a 'no-brainer'."

Has a puppy named Licorice.

Ranked #69 in Stuff magazine's "102 Sexiest Women In The World." [2002]

Her sister was visiting South-East Asia during the Tsunami on December 26th, 2004 and had to flee the water to save her life.

There was nothing on the web concerning her use of Tunze products in her reef though.

hahnmeister · 07/28/2006, 02:41 PM

I asked her that as well... if Hamburg or some other dialect would change it from the standard Berlin...she said no, not in this case. I did think to ask that at the time.

As for that umlaut page, and everything umlaut...that does change from region to region. Just listen to a Rammstein album (even Rammstein sounds different region to region) and you will hear umlauts done a couple different ways. That 'yew' isnt so common ...thats more old and south German.

We are being dumb though... there are Tunze, Geisemann, and other german mfg's in the forums... I seem to remember it being posted in the Tunze forum at one time even...

We could just ask them what they want to be called...if they say it sounds like 'toot-from-butt'...well, thats what it is! I dont think they care as long as you send them $$$....and for $350 a pump, Im gonna call them whatever I want.

dhnguyen · 07/28/2006, 02:44 PM

Oh damn. She's older than me and still looks that good

Gonna have to watch mah girlish figure from now on.

Ok back on topic. Tunze

hahnmeister · 07/28/2006, 02:54 PM

ROFL!! It seems MJAnderson felt he had to contribute more to the conversation...lol.

I conned my GF into seeing X-men3 one night, I told her, "I get to see Famke, and you get to see Hugh Jackman...we both win!" Boy, did I make out like a bandit... Hugh was in for what...15 minutes, and Famke was in for something like THE WHOLE MOVIE!!! (and hot as ever I might add). She is the epitome of 'my type'...so I gotta agree MJ.

There is nothing on her reef though? Lol... you make my day.

For those who dont know...

what were we talking about anyways? (time to roll the credits on this thread)...

xtm · 07/29/2006, 01:30 AM

ok so which is it: Hefe Weizen or Hefe Weizer? I'm drinking one now as I type while I stare at my Toon-Zeh

yep, only a larger transformer (hockey puck looking thing)

I have upgraded two 6000's, and if I want to lower one down, I just unplug the larger transformer and plug the other one in.

hahnmeister · 07/29/2006, 06:47 PM

thanks twon8, Ill ahve to keep that in mind. I have been debating over using 6100s and 6200s though...are they 'transformable' as well?

twon8 · 07/29/2006, 06:58 PM

no, only the driver boxes are interchangeable.
I just installed a 6200, it has a much wider flow than the 6100's.

hahnmeister · 07/29/2006, 07:38 PM

The 6200 is a different body isnt it?

clkwrk · 07/29/2006, 08:44 PM

I love my tunze equipment .At one time it was no way your crazy well now I am crazy but the realiablity over the years has been well worth it.

2 osmo units , wave box, 7095 multi , 2x6200's ,3x 6100's , 6060, 7310 kit and a single controller.

Also I have never heard the comment about having so many tunze viewable in my sps tank.

Body is the same ....the front cover has a larger opening hence wider flow

hahnmeister · 07/29/2006, 09:13 PM

so is swapping transformers even an option to go from a 6100 to 6200?

clkwrk · 07/29/2006, 09:36 PM

no its not an option the motor is different.

hahnmeister · 07/29/2006, 10:34 PM

thanks

Andrew · 07/30/2006, 10:25 AM

I just got a stream 6060 for my 75 and one is more then enough flow. Perfect for a BB tank and well worth the money.

vest0830 · 07/30/2006, 04:34 PM

Same here Andrew. I just picked up a new tank set-up as someone was moving. With it came the Tunze 6060 with the controller. I used to have a Seio PH in my old cube...and let me tell you this, I dont know if I could ever go back to anything else. The Tunze is quite awsome. It took me quite a while to get it adjusted just right. But now that I have, it moves some serious water.

Would I have ever bought one prior to owning one...most likely not. Why, because never before would I have even considered spending that kind of money on a power head. Now that I own one...I will probably always own one as long as im in this hobby.

clkwrk · 07/30/2006, 05:10 PM

sorry but the 6060 isn't controllable you must have got a 6000 which is even better than a 6060

Andrew · 07/30/2006, 06:16 PM

I only have one dead spot in my tank now which is right under the 6060 in the corner of the tank so I may get one of the new nano streams when they come out. So far I'm very happy with the 6060.

Scuba_Dave · 07/30/2006, 06:21 PM

I have a pair of 6100's
A 6000 on a single controller
And a 6060

Guess where my vote is?

The only reason I will buy an inexpensive PH is for mixing SW
