benefits of Tunze

[terryansimon]

what benefits does a Tunze offer to an established tank? need to give some five cents worth of reasoning to mother before plans are approved. she just doesn't see how something that blows water out may cost up to $190 for an uncontrollable, or lagi worse, close to $1k when it comes to a two controllable set.

so can anyone help me and tell me what other reasons/benefits are there? thanks! (=

[terryansimon]

nobody? uh-oh.

Well, it depends on how you 'sell' the idea to her.

- To the tank benefit, improve circulation is good at preventing detritus buildup, thus improving aesthetics.

- To the tank inhabitants benefit, it gives your LPS the swaying motion to make it look natural and also give the fishes some exercise. The benefits to SPS should be easy.

*feng shui tip: vigorous swimming action of fishes in a fish tank placed in the 'wealth' position is good.

- To the pocket benefit, Tunze pushes A LOT of water with little electrical consumption.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, tell her what she wants to hear ... simple enough?

it moves a huge amount of water using very little electricity...

by moving a large amount of water.. it sorta creates waves in the tank... and this helps the corals...

she's still not convinced. I think I'm not destined to work as a marketing person.

but she did say she'll consider. hurhur. maybe can ask for it for my 21st birthday.

I sound so spoilt.

you can have a cheapest tunze that beats your closed loop flow rate at a mere fraction of the wattage and thus electricity costs...in no time pay for the stream price already

it is not the price .. it is LPS in concern .. already 'saving' for TS7 liao hehehe .. behind my CEO ..

well..in short...good...and low wattages....pay ard 180...will save eletricity in the long run....cos will be working for yrs...do some calculating...will save some $$$..just that need to pay upfront

[terryansimon]

I guess its the upfront investment that puts many *me included* of.

hmm.
