WaveMaker War - Hydor Koralia VS Tunze

Recommended Posts

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.. :angry:

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

lololol thats a good one. what happened to your friend after that?

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

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. :rolleyes:
