Comments: I have 2 of these along with, Photo cell, Branch Adptr and 1 7091 controller in a BC29. I think that these are very quiet and all work in Harmony. This was an expensive purchase but i think that i'm definetly getting my moneys worth by going with TUNZE. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Tunze versus..... by Koga

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/31/2009 from MANSFIELD, TX UNITED STATES

Comments: I have a 90 gallon with the following dimensions. 36 x 24 x 25. The overflow is center-back. I started off with two Koralia 3's and they perform well, but I wanted to try different movement so I purchased the Ecotech Vortech MP20. 21 days after the purchase of the MP20, I am removing it and sending it back to the company for repairs. Apparently this is becoming a major issue. I am not happy with the Vortech. I have now installed the Tunze 6025. It was easy to put together, although the entire booklet is in foreign languages. I have the Tunze 6025 installed along with one Koralia 3. They are on opposite corners and pointed towards the middle. Both are comparable on GPH. The Koralia 3 is a little "broader" in the dispersion of the water, yet I do like the Tunze as well. I will be running the Tunze on an electronic timer with a minimum of 20 minutes "off". This is ok with the Tunze. I have a mixed reef tank and I am getting plenty of flow with the Koralia 3 and the Tunze 6025. I think alternating the Tunze on / off cycle will help. I do recommend this product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Tunze 6055 x 2 by MIKE MEEK

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/14/2009 from AUSTIN, TX UNITED STATES

Comments: First let me say, I am not a newbie in the hobby. I have run a 120 gal reef for about 8 years now. I have had the old Tunze streams and many others in between. With a 4' wide tank, the full size streams both old and new were just too much force and flow to keep from stripping tissue off my SPS and LPS. I decided to pair the 7096 controller with a set of two 6055 pumps and I am very happy with the result. The 7096 controller lets me manage the two nano streams very comprehensively and I can even create a wave with the two nanostreams on this tank. The pumps were easy to install and are SUPER QUIET. For those of you with a tank in a living area where sound is an issue, look no further. The mounting magnets work like a charm and the ball style of the nanostreams makes them very easy to orient in the tank to idealize flow. Roger and the fellas at Tunze did a great job with this product and the 7096 controller. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

NanoStream 6055 by Fred A.

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 5/12/2009 from Key Biscayne, FL

Comments: The product is exceptional in every regard and well worth the price; perfect solution for any aquarium lacking water circulation. Immediately developed gentle currents throughout, eliminated virtually all "dead water" areas and even keeps algae dustings from forming on glass. Am planning on purchasing a second 6055 for my 90-gallon tank. First time I have actually reviwed any product but was so encouraged to purchase the product by other aquarist reviews that I felt compelled to contribute my own. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Inadequate by Ted

Comments: The pump moves water well, but the clamps used to hold the pump are very cheaply made. I ordered 2, and after being used in my tank undisturbed for 4 months, the plastic arms apparently softened and cracked on both. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

nice.... by MICHAEL G

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 4/14/2009 from ALBUQUERQUE, NM UNITED STATES

Comments: I have only had this pump for a week but I am impressed by how quite it is and the amount of water it can move. you do not hear the pump at all, the only way you know it is working is by the water motion in the tank. it moves water in a very broad flow, when I first turned it on I was a litte let down becasue it did not look like it was moving all that much water I have a 220 gallon tank and have it shooting straigh across the tank lenght wise. but then when I feed the fish I saw just how fast the water was moving in the whole tank it really is hitting every inch of the tank and when you look closely at the SPS all the polys are moving nicly not the harse direct hit that most power head do but just a nice fanning motion. I am looking forward to buying two more one for the other side and one for back to front motion. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Nicely Built, Ultra Quiet by McDooks

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/8/2009 from CAMARILLO, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: These are the first Tunze pumps I've ever owned. My just-out-of-the-box impression was that these are very well crafted, substantial pieces of equipment. Nothing rinky dinky about them. The size is alright, for the volume of water these push it is impressive that they are no bigger. I have a 58 gallon tank (36l x 18w x 20h) and positioned these to be diametrically opposing with one in the back left corner, the other in the back right corner, both aimed a bit downward toward the front center of the tank, (imagine the streams making an X) in order to create a more random turbulent water movement. The stream that these pumps create is very "soft", and it seems hard to believe that these pump the amount of water as stated by Tunze. The only other experience I have with pumps in this gph range are modded maxijet 1200. That was like a jet blast in my tank and anything in its path was subject to (in my size tank) an incredibly strong water blast. I like the swivel capability of these pumps, one thing sorely lacking in the modded maxijet set up I was struggling with. You can pretty much aim these pumps any which way- nice. The magnets are a very nice way to mount these, no inevitable failing of suction cups to worry about. I can't hear these pumps, they are absolutely silent! I have found myself looking at them to make sure they are actually running, but in my estimation that is not a bad problem to have. They create a very gentle stream, and my fish are having fun zipping in and out of them, and my Rose Bubble Tip anemone seems to really like the type of water movement they are making. I have one pump aimed just off to the side of the anemone so my hosted clown doesn't have to struggle to stay cozy inside. The anemone gets a very nice swaying motion. So far, I have no complaints about these. The fit and finish of the pumps are excellent, the materials seem top quality to me. I would definitely recomment these to a friend. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

I Like It. by MICHAEL CHEN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/13/2009 from SAN RAMON, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: It is the only powerhead of it's kind to be able to fit into the first chamber of a Biocube 29g, so not many options. Because I wanted to keep an anemone, I knew I had to have it placed in chamber 1 with a hole cut through the plastic wall in back and into the display area. Previously, I was using a Koralia 1 and the Tunze 6025 puts out a lot more flow than the Koralia, almost too much I would venture to say in a 29 gallon tank. However, with some playing around with the angle of flow, you can get it right. I have mainly softies, and everything took a day or so to adjust to the increased flow, but are loving it now. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

6025 piece of garbage by JOHN GREGORIO

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/2/2009 from EAST MEADOW, NY UNITED STATES

Comments: for a company like tunze to put out such a cheap piece of garbage they should be ashamed.the 6025 is nice and small and throws alot of water,but within 1 year the u shape bracket broke(i was very gentle),the impeller came apart in 3 pieces(the plastic impeller separated from the magnet)and before any of that happened it made lots of noise.pretty much right out of the box.i have another one so i guess i have some parts when that one craps out. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Moves Some Serious Water by BEN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 11/22/2008 from Hawaii

Comments: Very pleased with this pump. It's very quiet and the thing moves some serious water. Initially, I placed it into my 65gal tank without the mod to increase flow and it was pretty good. After I did the mod (really easy 5min mod), the thing is very impressive. Be careful with the magnets as they are very strong. I accidently put them together outside the tank and it was pretty hard to split the two magnets apart. Very happy with the pump though. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I had purchased two hydor minis for my 24 gal nanocube but was not satidfied with the amount of flow, so I decided to get one of these. Wow what a difference! When I put it together, the motor housing and the outer housing didn't stay flush. I was expecting more for the price I paid for this pump, since the mating parts seem a little flimsy.

Comments: Great little pump and outperforms others by far! Put mine on the tunze 6091 controller which made it really loud when switching during wave pulses but Tunze rep took care of that quick! This little pump was creating mini-waves in a 72" 125g! Love the quality and the awesome magnet holder! This one makes #5 nanostream pump in my tanks!

Needed Modifying by EDWARD KRUZEL

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 7/26/2008 from WINCHESTER, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: The unit isn't overly large for a nano when comparing the amount of flow it can produce, and the noise level is tolerable. The only complaint I had was that the front case does not fit properly; the power cord keeps it from snapping shut. I modified this by trimming about 2mm off the front case that wraps around the cord. Tunze should ensure when molding the cord for waterproofing that it protrudes straight up from the unit and not at a forward cant. This may be a limited or rare problem, but won't detour me from using or buying another of this same product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Love the Stream by JOYCE JONES

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 5/30/2008 from SAINT ALBANS, WV UNITED STATES

Comments: I've gone through many of the conventional water movers; some just laying in storage now, others broken. If you are serious about your reef, and believe you are in it for the long haul, go Tunze. You will end up spending the same amount of money in the long run. I just purchased my second 6055 NanoStream for my 72 gal display reef tank. I probably should have listened to my reef club President in the beginning and ordered the second 6101 to begin with. All are on a multicontroller. My corals love the awesome flow that the Tunze provides. Highly recommended. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great, but could be better. by ROBERT BLACKGROVE

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 3/29/2008 from MIAMI BEACH, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: I really like these things, I have 3 connected to a multicontroller. Adjustable speeds, the 6055 has great range. My main complaint is that they make too much noise if they are not left running continuously. Every 20 seconds or so they briefly kick back on with a loud "click". Also, they click when they turn "on", so if you have intermittent back and forth current, they make some noise. If you run them simultaneously, this is not a problem. I traded Tunze 6100's for 2 nanos (6055) on my 76 gal display tank, and have one on my 46 gal frag tank. Plenty of current and able to get good random flow with 2 nanos together. Very happy with them. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Nanostream by PHILEMON ROUKAS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/21/2008

Comments: Comming from a company with such reputation this pump is dissapointing to say the least. I have a 6025 and a 6045. For starters the clips that clamp to the base broke off. The swing arm will not last for long and will eventually brake. And last in Marine setups the pump gets glogged and starts to make a horrible noise which will not go away even if you clean the pump. Very dissapointing especially for its price. Other than that they have a good flow and the decorative rock which covers them is pretty good. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Tunze 6045 by SHAWN

Comments: I purchased the NanoStream 6045 power head to replace a MaxiJet 900 power head in my 46 gallon bow front reef aquarium. The Tunze 6045 has great quality and straight forward instructions. The unit's size is perfect and compact for the power. The unit rotates well for easy stream placement. The stream of water is a little more direct then I thought it would be. I had to adjust stream to hit some live rock to create turbulence in the water flow. Over all great product and perfect size also very easy to mount with a strong magnet. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

So-so by rsrsrs

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/19/2008 from ALEXANDRIA, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: I don't think this product deserves 5 stars, certainly not at its price--it's rather expensive and not particularly powerful. On the one I got, the bracket broke in two places. Where the bracket meets the magnet, it was already broken when I opened it; so I just superglued the bracket to the magnet. Later, one of the arms of the bracket cracked; I superglued that back together but used it too soon, before it set totally, so I need to reglue that again. But anyway, they're not so well made and amazing to cost $60+ or to get 5 stars. I prefer a modified maxi-jet 1200. But the perfect (affordable) powerhead remains elusive... Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great pump, needs some tweaks by SurlyT

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/1/2008 from FREDERICK, MD UNITED STATES

Comments: Love these little pumps when they're working right, but they have two design flaws: 1) The mounting clamps quickly become brittle, resulting in broken off mounting tabs and cracked clamp arms. 2) The pump has no mechanism to prevent the prop from spinning backwards, creating an intake rather than output flow. When they're functioning normally, though, it's hard to beat the wide diffuse flow stream these nanostreams create. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

NanoStream 6045 by David

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/12/2007 from SAN FRANCISCO, CA UNITED STATE

Comments: The nano stream seems to work great. I primarily bought this because of the magnetic attachment. The small suction cups on all of my other powerheads would detach and get gunked up with algae quickly. I don't have to worry about that issue anymore. The nanostream is a bit larger than i had thought it would be, but it is not overly large. The installation is simple and fast. I like how the "ball" just clips onto the U clip and you are ready for install. It is very adjustable and works well. The impeller cavitated when I first plugged it in. After unplugging it and plugging it back in it was very quiet. Overall I would recommend this to anyone. Love the magnets!! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Nice flow spread, looks great, easy to position. At least for awhile. About a month ago the clamp arms broke. Simply fell away, letting the powerhead to sink to the end of its cord. Then a couple of days ago I found the front housing half lodged in some coral, while the prop was still grinding away at some live rock. It wouldnt snap back on either. The little snap things had just bent in. I ended up glueing it together so that I could get a bit more life out of it. I guess it was only 60 bucks, but still, jeese.

But, for circulation and wave making, it's hard to beat. I tried 3 different wavemakers and numerous powerheads before finally plunking down the $$ and becoming fully satisfied. Good flow and current dispersion, and it's relatively tiny when you consider the output. Works flawlessly with the Tunze multi-controller. It very well may be worth the price tag. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

good pump by Glenn

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/20/2007 from CORPUS CHRISTI, TX UNITED STAT

Comments: I put 2 6025's in my 40g reef tank to add circulation for SPS. These are quite powerful little pumps. The tabs that hold the pump to the magnet are a bit thin, but if you take your time putting them together it's not a problem. I didn't break any of them on either pump. Overall, I think these are excellent little pumps, and highly recommend them. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

superior water motion by A. ROBERTSON

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 10/18/2007 from MOBILE, AL UNITED STATES

Comments: These pumps are unbeatable for the price. They come with their own magnet holder and are fully maneuverable with the ball-in-bracket design. There is also a small modification that can be made that makes these pumps even more worth the value--and it doesn't even void Tunze's warranty! I am very pleased with these pumps! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Only 3 stars but.... by BRIAN WALLACE

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 10/3/2007 from ANNANDALE, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: I wish there were more then one rating system. The pump performs at 5 stars, but I only gave the pump 3 stars. At this pice, the pump should perform and be built with quality. There are several small design flaws, 2 halves hardly hold together, had to file down back half to fit correctly over cord. Small items but disappointing to see on a premium pump. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Cheap Plastic by ANDREW KETNER

Posted on 9/27/2007 from EAST LANSING, MI UNITED STATES

Comments: I have 2 in my 50gal. Excellent pumps, but both fixtures broke where they attach to the magnetic holder. They were always handled with care, just a poorly made joint. However, glue can fix it and the pumps are worth the pain. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Works great! by agy

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/22/2007 from California

Comments: I put 2 of these in my 60 gallon reef tank. They provide a nice flow are fairly small so they don't stick out so much. Others that I have had are so big they look funny in my small tank. On one of them the cover fits a little loose and will fall off easily and the other one sometimes makes a lot of noise when it starts up. I have to unplug and plug it in a couple of times. Eventually it will run quietly. Overall, I like them. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great pump, but weak clip by Arthur A.

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/18/2007 from PLAINSBORO, NJ UNITED STATES

Comments: Purchased two of these little pumps about 7 months ago. I really like their steady output and the design seemed adequate. However, one of the pumps recently came loose from its clip. Turns out the clip developed hairline fractures on both sides which let the pump slip out. The second clip looks better, but I see one tiny fracture already. Will contact Tunze to see what my options are. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

6025 and 6045 by SUSANA SWETT

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/18/2007 from CHULA VISTA, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: Great pump, but cheaply made. The little teeth that hold the magnet holders on break easily. Have had mine for few months and already had to order replacement parts. They dont fit together too great either. Have 6045's and 6025's. Ordered replacement parts for both. They stop running also after a while and you have to take them out and clean them, soak them in vinegar. Ive cleaned mine three times in about 5 months. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

good flow, but quality issues by KAMAL RAJAN

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/17/2007 from HERCULES, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: great flow... however, i use a wave maker with it and it makes a super loud clankity noise when it first comes on. Then the arm that connects to the magnet, one of the pieces chipped off so it barely holds on to it. Also be aware that if you use a magnetic algae cleaner, it will stick to the tunze magnet and you have to stick your hand in there to get it off, which defeats the purpose of a magnetic algae cleaner... I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Unsatisfactory

Trouble with Turbelle 6025 by KAREN BRIM

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/10/2007 from MARLBOROUGH, MA UNITED STATES

Comments: I at least have had terrible luck with these pumps. The bracket is attached to the magnetic holder by incredibly tiny plastic tabs which quickly break off after being exposed to the pump's vibration and to salt water. The pump works ok, but now you're left jerry-rigging an attachment to the magnetic holder. Not something which should happen on a $60 pump. This seems like an obvious design oversight, and I am surprised to see it in any product, much less from a respected vendor like Tunze. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Tunze pump by KEVIN CARRARA

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 9/3/2007 from OAKDALE, NY UNITED STATES

Comments: It work great ! however, tunze should have a blower screen with smaller openings on it so the blennys and gobies don't back themselves into it while it is off during a timed tide change and then end up as fish chum. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Love it by JOHN S

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/24/2007 from PHILA, PA UNITED STATES

Comments: Works great!!! I built my own MJMOD. It worked fine but: 1. The tunze has a smaller footprint. I have a 65 so size does matter. 2. The mjmod isn't variable. Its an AC motor, so its either on or off. The tunze works great with the 7095 controller. I can set it to pulse mode and it creates nice wave like currents. 3. This thing is quiet!!! Its barely audible. The mjmod was LOUD!!! Tunze aren't cheap. But as they say, "you get what you pay for." You could buy tunze once or some cheap brand that you'll be replacing sooner then later. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Works Great!! by HARRY HOLLIDAY

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 8/22/2007 from PADUCAH, KY UNITED STATES

Comments: Used several pumps in the past, love the magnet holder the pump provides. A++. I coupled it with a Tunze 7091 controller to simulate wave motion. Fish and corals love it!! While the pump seems to be high in price, you get what you pay for. Currently used on a 30 gallon long tank with the voltage set to 12v. Had to wait nearly 6 months for this pump to be stocked, but it was worth the wait. Tunze pumps are the best hands down. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Fragile Metal Pole by JACOB ANDERSON

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 8/21/2007 from SAN DIEGO, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: The tunze pump is great and silent when it doesn't fail. The little metal pole that holds the propeller in place breaks easily. It broke on me after about 1 year of service. It makes quite a bit of clatter when broken. This was in a 16 gallon nanoreef with temp between 75 F and 82 F. No corrosion on the metal pole, just snapped off at the bottom where it joined the plastic base. Great magnets that hang it anywhere on the tank. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Tunze Turbelle NanoStream 6025 by MICHAEL

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 8/19/2007 from SAN BERNARDINO, CA UNITED STAT

Comments: Great compact design. Great idea of 360 degree direction of flow. Made modification to increase flow to 1000gph approx. Comes with magnet unlike the larger Tunzes. Should have purchased the 6055. Even with the modification the pump feels very weak. Don't buy pump unless your using it on a tank 30 gallons or less. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I have never owned a Tunze product and this was my first purchase and i would say that it is well made, not sure how people break the clips off the attachment, worked well for me putting it together, i now have great flow in my tank i plan on adding another for the other side of my 90 gallon mixed reef tank along with the multi-controller. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

tunze nanostream 6025 by J NICHOLAS BOYD

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 8/2/2007 from BOCA RATON, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: I run 2 6000 on a 7095 controller and based on that I decided on the 6025 for a new nano that shares the same sump as my main tank. I had purchased another brands new nanostream-like powerhead weeks before. I purchased the naonostream hoping to eliminate the other brand stopping and making noise and because there was a rumor that it leaked electricity. I love the 6025 as I do all tunze products and would recommend it to anyone needing this rated gph powerhead. Nick Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Poor quality by jwfangster
