Well finally got my bracket I ordered about 6 weeks ago to hold the tunze yesterday. So last night I got it all hooked up and installed. I still have another to do but its going to work great for sure. I use the 6200 flow diffusers to really make the flow pattern wide also. I am running 2 waveboxes on inverse mode to give me a nice 1.5" wave in the 8 foot long 240. Then off my profilux I have these other tunzes doing random currents and also rotating 45 degrees off the seaswirls. This is the definition of TRUE random flow. So have about everything ready to finally tear the tank down and start the rebuild from the ground up. Now that its getting warmer I may be able to start in the next few weeks. I am thinking its going to take a couple few months as I still have to get my drivers from MW and they are still like 8-10 weeks out it looks like. Heck I might go another route and use some other MW drivers but it will require me to use a lot more of them. Also I have to build the stand on site as its going to be large and I will not be able to get it downstairs. So looks like cutting outside and then bringing pieces inside to install. Then paint and stain and seal on site. Probably going to upset the wife for a couple months I am sure of it. :p

 
I had some detritus build up in the corner prior to this and now nothing. Very impressed with the random flow. Now it's time to tear the tank down and start the ground up rebuild. Looking at 2-3 month process I am sure.
 
That's pretty cool man thanks for sharing... I thought about something similar with my vortecs but then I need a whole box to do it because of the dry side...;)
 
is the tunze 6100 for sale?

I am not sure if they r still for sale these r the older models. I am pretty sure they have new models and they do not work with the brackets. I have had these tunzes for over 6 yrs. You can find them in the for sale forums often though.
 
I have a couple of 6100`s I am trying to decide what to do with. What kind of braket is that? where did it come from? how does it mount?
Thanks Terry
