SRC Member ZeRoC00l Posted July 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 8, 2004 This small, inexpensive deflector turns your existing powerhead into a wavemaker. Stimulates corals and mimics natural ocean conditions. Geared unit produces alternating current without added energy costs - it's powered by the output water pressure. Included adapters fit most outlets. 2-1/4" dia x 3". Anyone seens these guys ard??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ervine Posted July 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 8, 2004 and how does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ryz Posted July 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 8, 2004 it has a fan rotor inside that rotyates when the powerhead pushes water thru it thus spreadig the output in all directions. Tunze streams using the same technology. If the above is cheap and functional then I'll buy man... looks very interesting Quote Live and Let Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ervine Posted July 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 8, 2004 Oh then it's not the same as the tunze lah... tunze uses the fan blades to push the water, this one uses the water to push the fan blades... not the same.... Furthermore if you merely wanted a more diffused flow, just saw off the output tube of your maxijet... I think someone here has done it with good results, as have many other people in RC...

Achilles Tang Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I have one. Was given one by the Hydor dude at Aquarama for review. Tried it and can give it a thumbs up. It does turn around well, deviating waterflow... its definitely much better as an add-on to an ordinary powerhead vs the brand of powerhead that swivels left and right (forgot the brand name) that is prone to jamming. Its so light that I can blow through the intake and the whole thing can swivel 360 degrees with little resistence, very nice gear system inside too... easy to break it apart for cleaning. Good for those with powerheads and have no corals in direct flow. The only problem with this is that you can't use it on a powerhead that is too near the water surface as the angle of the re-directed jet (when it swivels around, pointing 'upwards')can cause a 'bulge of current' under the water surface and cause splashing. I have used it in a vertical orientation and it functions just as well... perhaps even better in a typical horizontal position as the water points downwards in a 90 degree cone, enabling water current to reach the sandbed.

SRC Member neokn Posted July 8, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted July 8, 2004 if nobody, then maybe someone wants to cordinate a bulk order? Think there is a local distributor in Singapore. Better check with them first, they might have a shipment on its way in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
