Tunze lookalike

[kalkwasser]

Hi fellow reefers:

Just would like to share with you a newly launch wave maker from the US.

It's call Vortex. Apparently, outlook does resemble a Tunze from Germany slightly.

But operation and performance wise is somehow different. Quite a handsome pump.

Reefers out there who is always on the go searching for gadgets.

Mr "You know who" might be listening

Can find out more here

Hey bro... you started a product review thread without having the product? Emm... this product ain't new... been in the US for a while now but the price is way too much... and speculation is... Tunze Nano copied the Vortex

Bro... not to discourage you hor... please don't take it that way... I think the Marine Equipment section is ideal for this purpose... that's what that section is for

Prob boss can help move it over to that section

I had initially wanted to purchase this pump but it was impractical to me as this pump need to be realigned properly and also since my house is usually visited by my relatives who will be bringing with them their kids, who are at the age when they are as curious about everything, I do not want to deal with having to fish out the propeller section and realign it back to the aquarium wall everytime someone tries to move it around like a magnetic algae cleaner. Also, it does not have a controller like Tunze has. I'm getting the TS24 set from Tunze over this.

1 more thing, if you accidentally get the propeller section and the motor section together, you may not have the strength to separate them. So think carefully before making the decision to purchase this. The 2 parts must not come into contact with each other.

hm... but how can you angle the pump? Most of the time our wavemakers are not pointing horizontally...

Haha... getting more interesting... yes this product needs a lot more R&D before it can make it into our sophisticated market
