Be careful with your Tunze Streams

[Tom Berry]

Even though they are designed to spread out the flow, they can still cause problems with corals in the direct path of the flow.

This morning I realized that some of my corals that have tissue loss were being blasted with direct flow from one of my streams. I adjusted the aim, and, hopefully, solved the problem.

Yeah, My general guideline is not to have any corals within 1 feet directly in front of the stream output.

Tom, have you ever tried to remove the suction housing completely ?

This creates a very soft stream, but it could become dangerous to the fish if they try to nip at the propeller :chainsaw:

I have also heard of ppl replacing the screen of the 6100 with the screen of the 6200. It gives a wider more dispersed flow.

[Tom Berry]

Alexander,

no, but I have thought of getting the 6200 covers with wider openings. They should spread out the flow more.

Edit:Farish, you beat me to it

I changed out the cover on my 6100 with the 6200 one and it does spread the flow out quite a bit.

Dustin, can you pls elaborate on your observations after you replaced the 6100 screen with the 6200's? Im sure alot of ppl wanna know

Hello,
I to am wondering if I can replace the cover on my 6080 for a cover off of a 6200?
Hey Dustin, where did you order the covers from? Thanks, Dan.
