At the time, I needed a new project to hone my DIY skills, this is basically what I came up with during a discussion with the owner of a "coral specialized" LFS near my house...
He gave me a Tunze Stream - model 6080, to which I will mated to a Reef-Rat drive unit so that the Stream would sweep back and forth thru a 90° arc in 1 minute intervals like the Reef-Rat.
This went in a 220 gallon acrylic tank full of SPS at his store.
The idea came from the Tunze Stream that had a loose bracket which allowed the stream to "wander" from side to side... we both agreed it would be neat to see this oscillating back and forth using a drive unit...
The benefit of the Tunze Stream's wide current path coupled with the Reef-Rat's oscillating 90° sweep resulted in a hybrid that created an environment that the SPS would thrive in...
