that cool,,buti dont like the piont that the tank has to be drilled ,,i need to make up something that will tranfer elec through the glass with only magnets holding the motor one the out side ,and perpeller on the other ,,now that would be cool ,,and only way it wil work ,if the two magnets are connected

Ronen, the tank doesnt have to be drilled. To quote the site "The VorTech minimizes the intrusion of equipment in your tank by using a patent pending bracketless design; this allows the motor to be on the outside of the aquarium and uses a magnetic field to transfer torque through the aquarium wall to the propeller located in the water."

Its using a magnectic field to get the propellor to spin.

champion lighting is also that price. kinda expensive IMO

 

[Tonyscoots84]

if it outbeats the tunze then i guess its worth the money and u dont need to buy a magnetic holder for it either... i think its a great idea but it is a little on the expensive side... i guess imma go to the drawing boards and try to design one myself... lolz
