Gimmito's 450 gal L-shaped tank

[Crabby]

Sea sweep looks like it could be a great product. I've been thinking about modifying a motor to turn my tunze's from side to side for quite some time...

Me likey...a lot!

Pretty sweet device, I like how it doesn't turn terribly fast too. I'm curious can you set the sweeping arc? Or is it fixed to 90°?

Also, was it me or was one of your rock structures wobbling when the pump pointed towards it? That would cause me some concern.

The Sea Sweep is fixed at a 90 degree turn like the Sea Swirls. You made a astute observation that my arch was swaying by the force of the Tunze. I won't be keeping there long term, but just to show how strong of a flow you can potential get from the Sea Sweep.

How do you like the Tunze Wavebox? I was thinking the nano might be good for my tank.

 

[gimmito]

I like it alot...if placed correctly, it can move quite a bit of water.

 

[Erick]

I have an internal overflow, would that block it from making waves? I have a lot of rockwork as well.

 

[gimmito]

That's what I was illuding to regarding ideal placement. Wouldn't a couple of vortechs create a similiar effect ?

 

[Erick]

I have an MP40 (the old type). But I would need to buy another one and a way to make them work together. Or I could just sell the old mp40, and get a wavebox and be done with it That was my way of thinking anyways.

 

[gimmito]

Waveboxes do take up real estate...something to think about.

How about two mp10's ?

Jim if your rockwork is falling over you might be interested in attending our BOD+rockscaping meeting in two weekends :bigsmile:
I shouldn't talk I walked out in my garage to see a rock with a big fat galaxy fell over on my big fat frogspawn. Plenty of surface area for war I'm curious to see how that ends up.

I think it would take a lot to topple that arch...after all it's a Jestersix rockscape ! I was planning on putting the Tunze 6205 back behind the atoll, but I'm really liking the flow I'm getting.

 

[houser]

I have to try that vid again.
The other day all I could get was hello this is Jim, Gimmito on the forums... Then silence. Issue was on my end I'm pretty sure as my YouTube connection would bonk.

 

[gimmito]

To bad...it was a good vid.

 

[houser]

Or as Mac would say - "It still IS a good vid."

Guess he'll have to add the sea sweep to his talk!
