WaveMaker War - Hydor Koralia VS Tunze

[RockyBoy]

I luv tunze products. But the new ones sucks. My old faithful 6060 runs non-stop for more than 3 years.

But my 3 new tunze nanos died after 1year. I heard now they are made in china.

I thought of using hydor, since they are still made in non-china.. . Not sure.. may be made in china as well..

I am using this taiwanese product. Looks like a torpedo. Sold in petmart and controllable and the output can come from left or right.

I saw this SunSun wavemaker is exactly same as hydor wavemaker. The price is cheaper compare to hydor but they draw a little bit more Wattage than hydor. I don't dare to try those, so i just bought hydor. Anyone try that before? Any review?

previously using sunsun 6000lph wave maker

the shaft rust after 3 months and broke due to rust after 9 months

the newer version uses carbon or ceramic shaft, but not available in sg yet

cant expect too much for a less than $40 wavemaker

cheers

[dnsfpl]

i will rather get a 2nd hand hydor

cheers

bro safety comes first... my friend got the qq, steering wheel came out while he was getting out of carpark!!! Can u imagine if he was on CTE? I can always get a 2nd hand car for the same price.

tt's why to me its the same analogy la

lol he sold it off n bought a second hand instead... the salesman sad it was a one off, but I think this kinda things belong to the "one is too many" rule.

yeah man... totally freaked out when I heard steering wheel drop off... how can it drop off in the first place!!??

QC must have been really bad...

but going back to the topic, both hydor n tunze have got quite good brand names, I suppose there is a certain amt of standard in there too

My Hydor K4 got sound and vibrate badly when starting. Some said it's a production batch flaw. Tunze got this problem? I never used tunze before. My K4 died on me after 8 month when I washed it with vinegar+water solution to cleanse off coralline algae. How did that happen? Wavemaker should not be clean with vinegar solution?

I used to have that same problem with my 2 K4, but that issue doesnt post much problem for me. I never have that kind of problem with tunze yet. I also did wash my 2 K4 with vinegar + water before I sold it, it was still working fine when i test it after washing. i believe its something else that cost the death of ur pump

happy reefing

Actually i think the hydor can stop working suddenly. My K3 died on me after less than 1 month, n I thought lousy brand, but after taking it apart, washing it and putting it back toether, it started working again.

Ya la.. so unfortunate for my nanos.

After many years of trying many wavemakers, I still like the cheap, ugly seio.

Just to share my experience on hydor, my K5 die on me a mth back, thought malfunction or something but steve from AM gladly dismantle it for me and discovered the white stud (i not sure of the part name) that is connected to the rotor and shaft are covered with calcium deposit (i using grotech manual dosing ca/mg/kh).

He proceed with a thorough wash & scrub right down to the very last bit and bingo, back in business and as good as before.

[mopiko]

as with a equipments. it need to be dismantle and clean up. same applied to tunze, the instructions manual recommend a through clean up once a year.
