I was going to post on the RC thread - but TUNZE shipped all of their reps to Germnay for a few weeks for R&D -

First to market, first to scale - if they miss the boat, Tunze would have employed Porter's 5 forces model appropriately and mitigated the barrier for new entrance by quickly developing a superior product - - - sigh . . . . .

Its contagious.. I was thinking 2 6100's maybe ill just get 1 6100 ...

 

[House of Laughter]

Hits,

I have the 6000 with a single controller and photocell and it flows like a monster - 1875gph at 100%

I also have a 1750 return going through and OM 4 way on one return and a split to 2 penductors on the other return - sand is moving all over the place -

the 6000 is a little cheaper too.

JMHO

...herMan brought up a gooD point with aesthetiCs of the Vortech... with the vorTechs, yoU will have the motor outside the taNk thuS having the wire stick out of iT... moSt likely on the side of yoUr tank. unLess your tank is enClos'd thiS would look kinda hoKey :irked:

My tank is setup to draw your eyes INTO the tank, not on the outsides. I'd still give these guys a try; my mag-float on the outside of the tank looks hokey and it doesn't move water.

ink - you have to be joking. Firstly, you could throw them on the back of the tank and they are coming out with an attachment to angle the fan inside the tank. So you won't see anything. Then the propeller attachment is so much smaller than an entire stream in the tank. No mounts or wires coming out of the tank, it will not look as intrusive as the streams. Should be much easier to hide.

Tunze it going to take a hit with these guys. They going to have to lower their prices or something. And you can adjust the vortech from 0 - 3000gph!!

The only reason I'm not upset I just got my 2 6100's this summer is because I have 1" acrylic.
