tunze vs. ???????

fighton03 · 01/05/2007, 04:09 PM

Obviously the Tunze power heads are popular and rightfully so. Are there any power heads that can compete effectively?

RichConley · 01/05/2007, 04:11 PM

If you want to spend $$, Vortechs. If you dont, maximods.

fighton03 · 01/05/2007, 04:14 PM

Sorry, I have heard a lot about them, what exactly are the mods on the maxijets?

brett7768 · 01/05/2007, 04:17 PM

go to mjmods.com

reeformadness · 01/05/2007, 05:06 PM

What about Seios? I am thinking about getting one.

Tunze VS. Ocean?

reeformadness · 01/05/2007, 05:21 PM

Hmm, those mjmods look pretty cool. I might have to reconsider those Seios.

Tunze are like crack. Once you have it, it's hard to get off the dragon.... OK, bad analogy.

cyclops23 · 01/05/2007, 05:37 PM

don't do the mjmod. i did it to a couple of mine, and they worked for a couple weeks, but now the prop keeps reversing, it hits the stopper and makes a lot of noise and doesn't do anything. i broke down and bought a tunze afterward, and i wish i had done it to begin with

drummereef · 01/05/2007, 05:57 PM

Tunze has no competition, just imitators.

PrivateJoker64 · 01/05/2007, 06:01 PM

MJ mods are easy and cheap, and they work great...unless you do something wrong, leave something out, or use the wrong prop. I wouldn't spend the money for Tunze or anything else. The mods are just too easy, efficient, and cheap!

chris.hampton · 01/05/2007, 06:30 PM

I've done 3 of the MJmods and it's really easy to do and cheap! I managed it with a broken wrist!!

pony_killer · 01/05/2007, 09:48 PM

+100000000000000000 FOR THE MJ MOD!

The pump itself is only part of the equation. A quality controller is worth way more than most people realize for creating variable flow. The Tunze kits offer a tremendous overall package, but at a substantial price. You can weigh the pros and cons of various pumps all day. But, after seeing them in action, I don't regret a penny of what I spent on my Tunze setup.

dragonforce · 01/06/2007, 01:18 AM

MJMODS for the poor or the DIYer, tunze for the rich or the mechanically inclined.

Tang Salad · 01/06/2007, 04:42 AM

I think the best competition for Tunzes is the Closed Loop.

dkh0331 · 01/06/2007, 04:48 AM

Multiple 6000/6100/6200 on a multi controller - there is nothing on the market today that comes close to it.

Ask anyone who has this setup if they would take 110% of what they spent on it, replace it with MJMod/Seio at 1/2 price and I would bet 95% of the people would laugh at that offer.

And I'm neither rich nor mechanically inclined.
