wui39 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 While looking around on the net the other day, I came across these pumps/powerheads. They seem to be more for those marine people out there but their specs seem to offer some pretty good power vs output ratios: Tunze Turbelle Stream 6060 # Output 6000 l/h; 1600 gal/h # Speed control No # Pump wattage 11 W # Voltage / Frequency 230 V / 50 Hz # Cable length 2 m; 80" # Dimensions ø 98 x 118 mm; ø 3.9 x 4.6" # Outlet diam. ø 50 / 47 mm; ø 2" / 1.8" From what I understand these pumps cannot be used as sump pumps and do not provide any height when pumping. Tunze have other pumps that will handle these activities. Anyone ever been brave/rich enough to buy one and put it in a cichlid tank? P.S. This is the smallest model, the big guy does 20000Lph for 62w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacco Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 The reason they chew so little power and have no head pressure is they are basically a propeller in a cage. They are great for large volume but low pressure water circulation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
