SRC Member newmarine Posted June 13, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yes, think got 1 x rainbow wrasse died about 3 weeks ago. But my nitrate had always been high. Sad Sad. Another problem that I face is that my tank wall will always have brownish thing on it. So have to keep cleaning it like every other day.

Any advise Is your tunze hidden/ stack under the LR? Will there be an issue in the event you need to clean/ service your tunze? Btw, nice setup!

SRC Member newmarine Posted June 15, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hi Bro, That is not a tunze, it's a seio 820. Thinking of getting a tunze to increase the flow. I have only 1 pcs of rock above it. so very easy for cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hehe... a Tunze ain't that small... that's the only setback of getting a Tunze IMO Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member newmarine Posted June 15, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2006 Ya, but tunze produce more wave.. so will help with the diatom in the sand bed. i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Ya, but tunze produce more wave.. so will help with the diatom in the sand bed. i think Yes Tunze is damn "powderful"... even the 6060 is strong enough to create a complete loop in my 3ft tank... the only thing is... it is too bulky... I am actually waiting for the new Tunze Stream Nanos... they are extremely small and cute... I heard they can be quite costly You considering a controllable or uncontrollable Stream? I've tried many different models... perhaps I can offer some tips And yes, a constant current flow can minimize the amount of diatoms on the sand bed... but flow itself is not good enough to eliminate them totally Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member newmarine Posted June 15, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 15, 2006 Thanks Bro. In fact, I have checked out the nanostream in germany and it cost around euro 200 for the controllerable one. I agree that tunze is very big. am thinking of 6060 too so to keep the sand bed clean. will be getting a de-nitrator and at the same time using rowas. But still thinking of where to put. Any advice?
