EDEN 228 & 214 PH

[Domino]

Hi!!

I bumped into the above pumps and I like their concept for creating a variable current in the aquarium. Planing to get one with 1000L/h and one with 500 L/h to create uneven and random water currents in the tank. my only worry is that they look a bit delicate...

Plus with their small & dicrete prefilter sponge I should avoid any accidents with the future anemone I plan to introduce in the tank.

Anybody using those pumps? any feedback on them?

Cheers

Regular maintenance is required in order to enjoy the rotating features, else it will just get stuck in one angle..........I'm using 2 x eden 228 stuck position for 4mths already, so far so good.

Wow Eric!

You always reply so fast...

how often do you think they need to be cleaned? Whay you use them in stuck position?

Thanks

I got the Eden 228, cost about RM90 in KL, have stopped using it after I got my Tunze, was told of regular maintenance otherwise it will not rotate well. I suppose it is Ok for small tanks.

Hey Marineman!!

where did you get your TUNZE in KL?

It needs to be cleaned almost every week or 2. I'm a lazy person, so just leave it at stuck position.

Mine is stuck as well. Also the flowrate will not be optimum becos there's lots of leakages all around the rotating mechanism.

[Domino]

HUMMM....

Better safe than sorry!

Thanks guys for the advice!

If too lazy, so what I do with my Eden 228, let it run for a while in a bucket of fresh water and the salts will dissolve...cleaning prolem solved!

[Marineman]

Hey Marineman!!

where did you get your TUNZE in KL?

Bought from ######, cannot find Tunze and a lot of other stuff in KL, very backward with regard to drygoods and SPS, all good and beautiful stuff goes to Singapore.

Moreover people here are not willing to spend on this hobby and knowledge level in general is poor. Will catch up one day but will take a while.

the head will stop some day....

If you clean the already stuck rotating head, will it rotate again?

[Eric]

Yes it will......it works simply on mechanical gears rotation........often debris stuck in between the gears to prevent smooth rotating and eventually as more debris build up, the gear seize......regular cleaning will get it back to shape.
