SRC Member iantoh Posted April 14, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 14, 2006 hi bro, super cool wavemakers, though the pricing places it out of the reach of many. the beta users thread on RC is quite cool too. Quote My Goniopora Nano! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member arcanehacker Posted April 16, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 16, 2006 I would believe the thing behind the tank walls would be a magnet? One thing though, there is no wire shown.. where is the wire? Quote Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth? "Its easier to blame the 'mantis' or crabs in the tank for missing & dead livestocks.." http://arcanehacker.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member lyz77 Posted April 16, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 16, 2006 Ecotech Marine Vortech Propeller Powerhead/Pump EcoTech Marine has created a new benchmark for wave-like flow by taking a direct route to what we all desire as reef aquarium hobbyists; we wanted high flow, low heat, easy, efficient and controllable technology. Now we have it. Bracketless Design The VorTech minimizes the intrusion of equipment in your tank by using a patent pending bracketless design; this allows the motor to be on the outside of the aquarium and uses a magnetic field to transfer torque through the aquarium wall to the propeller located in the water. No Heat Transfer - No Heat added to the water Due to the use of high intensity metal halide lighting, inefficient return pumps, and powerheads, many aquarists must resort to expensive equipment or loud fans to keep their water temperature stable. The VorTech induces very little heat into the aquarium because of EcoTech Marine's patent pending magnetically coupled design which transfers motion through the glass, but not heat. Controllable The VorTech uses the most advanced motor technology available, allowing the water flow rate to be completely controllable. Operating on tanks between 20 and 500 gallons and producing between 100 and 3,000 gallons per hour of flow, the VorTech is the most versatile flow product on the market. The VorTech is designed to operate on gap thickness from 1/8" to 3/4". No AC Current - No AC electricity in the aquarium water The VorTech is safer than existing products because there is no dangerous AC electricity brought into the aquarium. This keeps your fish and corals happy and healthy, while minimizing your own risk of electrocution. Run-Safe Design The VorTech is designed to be the safest and most reliable product on the market: Over-current protection - if the propeller becomes jammed, our microcontroller will sense the problem and shut the motor down to prevent overheating. Magnetic couple protection - if the VorTech becomes separated into two parts during operation, our microcontroller will sense the separation and cut power to the motor. Energy Savings The VorTech moves more water within your aquarium than conventional powerheads, plus you save money by not having to invest in and run a costly chiller. Low Maintenance The VorTech is virtually maintenance free. Classic powerheads use an impeller attached to a magnet assembly which needs to be cleaned every few months. The VorTech need only be serviced minimally to replace a simple and economical bearing. Wave Controller Accessory The EcoTech Wave Controller will wirelessly control up to 10 VorTech Propeller Pumps with an intuitive user interface while creating optiomal flow using wave motion algorithms. Battery Backup Accessory An IceCap, Inc. battery backup powers the EcoTech Marine VorTech Propeller Pump for up to 24-hours during a power outage emergency.

SRC Member arcanehacker Posted April 17, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 17, 2006 ah.. so.. its magnet controlled. So the main thing is the one outside which will control the fan inside.. pretty cool idea.. I mean, why didn't someone think of that? hmm.. maybe can make it so it acts as a glass cleaner also... hehe.

yooyoo99 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 take note that it has power backup up to 24hrs, no need ups liao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member lyz77 Posted April 18, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 18, 2006 take note that it has power backup up to 24hrs, no need ups liao Need to get additional accessory which may not be cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
