Re: Pump Recommendation
6/19/09
Scott: as per your recommendation I ordered the 2 1262 Eheims.....now if
you please- do you have an opinion on the new Tunze recirculation
silence pumps??
<I have never personally used these, but am a fan of anything this
particular company puts out.>
Also can you recommend a single pump that will deliver 1200 gph to the
tank not too loud and no flow accelerator will be used....just up and
over the side of the tank from about 52" below in the sump?????
<Ocean Runner 6500 or Reeflo Snapper will do the trick.>
Thanks in advance...
Ron

Limiting Pump Noise…Large External or Tunze Stream? – 09/26/07
Hello Crew!
<<Howdy Don!>>
I am in the middle of setting up a new
saltwater 210 AGA.
<<Sweet>>
I went out and bought a Via Aqua 8000
to use as the sump and buy another one for a closed-loop.
<<Mmm, have
you heard these pumps run? I find this brand of pump to be very noisy>>
It's an o.k. pump but a little noisy.
<<Indeed>>
I might be
expecting too much and pretty much have read all your articles on power
heads and pumps.
<<Okay>>
Do I go and buy either a Dolphin
7500/6500 for a closed-loop (or tell me what
pump is awesome at being
very quiet)
<<The Japanese-motored Iwaki’s, some of the Pan-World
pumps, and those from Gorman-Rupp Industries are a few examples that
will offer a good balance of quality and power vs. noise…but none are
truly “silent”>>
or scrap the closed-loop and stick about 4 Tunze in
the tank. I would love to run a closed-loop but much rather have a real
quiet tank running.
<<Then go with the Tunze Stream Pumps, mate. If
you can live with the look there’s absolutely no comparison re
efficiency and flow volume, with virtually no “noise”>>
Thank you for
your time.
Don V.
<<Happy to assist. Eric Russell>>
Which Tunze Pump? - 11/28/06
Hey!
<<Hey!>>
Once again
with a stupid question!
<<Never!>>
I have a 36 x 30 x 30 (Approx
140G) reef.
<<Ok>>
I am currently using an AZOO 2500Ltr/Hr and
an EHEIM 1000Ltr/Hr powerhead for water circulation. Was planning to
buy a Tunze pump for circulation.
<<Tunze Stream
pump? Excellent! I use these pumps myself...excellent
quality/function>>
Please let me know which one would you guys <<and
gals>> suggest?
<<A pair of model 6000 or 6100 pumps with
controller. Either will do, with the model 6100 pumps providing a bit
more leeway/range. Just depends on how much you have/want to spend>>
Is there harm if I use more water flow in the tank?
<<If misapplied,
yes...but most any reef system will benefit from additional water
flow...and the "controllable" Tunze Stream pumps make application a
snap>>
Thanks in advance!
<<Quite welcome. EricR>>
Chiller Pump - 12/25/05
My tank is around 890 L and the sump
around 175 L. With the return pump rated at 3400 l/h, I expect less
when running through the chiller.
<<Yep>>
Do you think the two
Tunze Turbelle Stream 6100 pumps, Which can provide a flow rate from
4000 to 12000 l/h plus the return pump, Will provide enough flow for my
fish only tank.
<<Should be fine.>>
I wish to provide the best
conditions possible.
<<Be sure to research your fish selections
thoroughly...before purchase.>>
Please advise if you think there are
any further mod.s to be done.
<<I have none, based on the
information provided.>>
Thank you for your time and knowledge,
Alan
<<I hope it has been of help, EricR>>
Tunze Stream/Eheim/Seio - 04/26/05
Hi,
< Hello! >
I am
looking into buying pumps for circulation.
< Always a good thing,
10x - 20x tank volume as a starting point please. >
I am thing of
buying either a Tunze or Eheim but I need to know which one is better
between the two in the sense of reliability and life span of the pump?
< You won't go wrong with either. Both are very well made, reliable,
and quiet...though they are applied in different manners. >
Does any
one know how good the Seio pumps are? (reliability and life span)
<
Mixed reviews on the Seios. In comparison to the Tunze/Eheim, be
assured you get what you pay for. >
Thanks Mohamed.
< You're
welcome, Eric R. > Marine Water Flow
Pump Selection
Thanks Adam.
<Sure.>
About the pump?
<The Iwaki is a quality pump and it will (depending on your
overflows/plumbing) likely suffice for your tank. However your tank is
over 200 gallons, and this will boot be sufficient flow (less than 10
times per hour). The tank should overturn at least 10x an hour, and I
prefer 20+. Research a Closed Loop Systems on WetWebMedia or look into
a product called "TUNZE streams.">
