Yupe bro... your 6060 is non controllable... a controllable unit say 6100 will costs 3 times that ;)

So 4 pieces of 6100 + Multicontroller 7095... is gonna cost you a :nuke::nuke::nuke:

dont want to use the controller also can lor, use timer switches for each 6060.

This is the one i use, $25 each can program for each individual day and 8 different settings per day.

But dont set it to turn off/on too many times a day lah, ur tunze cant take it.

According to 6060 manual, Tunze is not recommending on/off the 6060 more than 24 times a day... so don't think the 6060 is a very useful primary wavemaking unit... as secondary maybe.

Haha... my Singlecontroller is not suitable for bro VD... the Stream 6000 may not be strong enough for 5ft though :o

:bow::bow::bow: bro ur equipments all TOP class!! why not get some controllable tunze than get aquatronica hehe

aquatronica still need controllable tunzes to work right?

Yes confirm... only controllable Tunze allows for on/off more than 24 times a day... not that others can't... they will just break down easily coz those pumps are not designed for continuous on/off.

Also, if you want to achieve the flexibility of what a Tunze Multicontroller 7095 can offer... you will have to wait till end of the year for the (IKS SIMMOD equivalent). Right now, Aquatronica can only do very basic on/off, intervals, tide effects... that's why I recently bought a 7095 ;)

bro jervis what thing does the tunze mc can do the aquatronica cant?

Haha... u guys want me to start a product review for the MC 7095? Hahaha... but I need 4 Streams to really test it out... not to mention a 6ft tank at least :o

The MC 7095 is a very sophisticated piece of controller... even with SIMMOD, IKS can't come close :lol:

Bro Vandeam,

That's a hell lot of good stuff u are planning. Dun forget to budget for LRs!!! haha

With such equipment, I would think u are a gadget man like many of us here. U will sure have fun with a aquarium controller such as IKS and Aquatronica. The choice is yours. There are fans of each and honestly there are pros and cons of each too. Get one and see the LEDs and display blinking... it'll make your day!

Nowadays, i prefer to see my IKS display than my AT feeding!!! haha ;)

Oh ya btw, there's a little statement which is debatable

The MC 7095 is a very sophisticated piece of controller... even with SIMMOD, IKS can't come close

Understand SIMMOD and IKS fully and u will understand why the Germans are respectable in the field of engineering. Else why would we be using Deltecs too right? :lol:

Cheers

Are you trying to say that when the T5/T8 dimmer module of aquatronics is avaliable it still cannot compare with the MC 7095?

Can explain on what are the features avaliable on the MC7095 that is not avaliable on the IKS/SIMMOD? and what can be done on the MC7095 that cannot be done on the IKS/SIMMOD?

As a user for both, I would say that the IKS offer much more flexibility in terms of programming, I understand this would be the same for aquatronics/dimmer module.

Wait till the dimmer module for aquatronics is avaliable for you to play with before you comments further.
