DIY TUNZE (it's not what you think)

[spykes]

heh, no money...... i need powerheads and money....

 

[Reef Guy]

How many GPH was the original pump you made the "diy tunze" out of, hard to believe you can take a reg ol 200 gph power head and turn it into 1500 gph. I still dont understand how tunze;s do it

 

[jhale]

how many people have made one of these.
I tried reading the 18 page thread on RC, I'm to tired to finish reading it.

 

[spykes]

i know i did john, and i know how to make it hehhe

 

[jhale]

yeah, I know

I need more flow, so instead of dropping the $ on tunze's I wanted to try a couple of these. I have a wave maker I can hook them up to. It's either this or add another CL to the tank. Got any free time?

 

[spykes]

yes in 9 days i am free from school, we can chill and build stuff all day if you like LOL

 

[jhale]

that's cool, I can wait, In the meantime I'll get the PH's and parts that I can find.

 

[spykes]

remember we gotta do my 20 gallon's overflow and route out the top so i can get it goin, btw jose wants to tag along hehe

 

[Reef Guy]

hey count me in if its ok to tag along, what will I need to bring? I wanna build everything you can teach me to build

 

[jhale]

reef guy sure.

spykes is it possible to bring the 20G to my place? I can bring my routers to my loft, and we can do the cutting on the roof deck.
I can rout the tank while you build the powerhead mods

jose is always welcome

 

[nanoreefer22]

I might tag along tooo. Let me know when.

If you guys will let me.

 

[jhale]

hey kris I'll let you know.

 

[Deanos]

>raises hand<

 

[jhale]

uh oh, it's revenge of the diy day

spykes is the man, so we must all be nice to him.
at least till we get everything made,

 

[spykes]

i thought it's a private lesson HAHHA

alright everyone behave, i'll pick on you, but remeber you must raise your hand

uhm of course i was gonna bring the 20 G to your place and the acrylic. it's much heavier to bring the router tables and stuff

 

[rickytsui]

how many ppl wanna do the diy tunze? anyone down for this? i need more flow but dont wanna pay for tunze =) spykes do u think we can work something out so we can make one =)lmk

 

[spykes]

yeh, one of these days....... LOL! pick one and i'll come around and fiddle along with yah

 

[rickytsui]

what can u pm me where i can pick up the stuff for diy tunze . and what kind of ph will be best for this?

 

[joseney21]
