anyone using sea sweeps with tunze powerheads??

You have to have it on constant mode because the pulsing puts a lot of stress on the seasweeps.

It says so In the manual.

@Guttersnipe do you keep your Tunzes on the same constant mode setting 24/7 or do you vary the constant mode throughout the day without pulsing? For instance: right side at 30% constant speed in the morning and left side 70% constant speed in the morning. Right side 50% constant speed mid-day and left side 50% constant speed mid-day and so on...

It is set at 100% 24/7

@Guttersnipe do you also run your Sea-Sweeps 24/7? BTW, do you have a build thread for your Reefer 250?

Reviving this thread, what is the diameter of the vertical tube that holds the powerhead... i.e. could I run it through a hole in my eurobracing and put the sea sweep on top, pipe through eurobracing with powerhead mounted to bottom?

I was thinking of having 2" holes drilled in eurobrace for this reason. If it would be better to just have the unit grab the eurobrace and stick out further into the tank, I suppose that is an option too.

Please let me know your thoughts.
