Tunze Turbelle Nanostream Water Circulation Pumps

Anyone try any of these yet? Looking at the bigger one.

I have the Turbelle Stream 6065. Great pump almost a little too much for my needs, but I will never buy another Koralia again. Very well built and I like the range of motion.

What size tank do you have? I was looking at the 6055 actually. It can range from like 396gph-1,188gph. Has a dial to change the flow.

I have a Hydor Koralia 750gph that I recently bought. It works pretty well for my current setup. I have 3 smaller ones (550gph). Those are all in my 46gal. Once I get my 135gal up, I don't really want to use as many. So looking at those Tunze x 2 and see how that will move the water around. I may use some smaller ones in conjunction just to get some possible harder to reach areas. Won't know until I get it aquascaped.

I have a 90gal.

Where do you have PH located...ie End of Tank or Back Center?

 

[maddog]

End of the tank and if it's not pointed just right, the flow will go down the other side and stir up the sandbed.

Yes...I experienced that problem with one of those dual impeller type Powerheads. It had great flow, but it made the sand bed deeper at one end. So I since took it out. I may or may not break it out on the bigger tank.
