Hello all,
I am a former reefer who is getting back into the hobby as a form of therapy while I am treated for cancer. Because of some financial uncertainty in the future, and the need to keep things simple so my wife can care for the new tank when need be, I am putting together a very simple mixed reef aquarium. My goal is to keep the automation to a minimum and to get the setup done in a cost effective manner. Anyway, my first purchase has been a set of NOS Tunze Turbelle Stream 6080. I know they are very old school and not controllable. However, I have always liked Tunze products. I paid $120 for the pair with all the mounting equipment and such. What are your thoughts on this? Anyone think I got hosed?
Just to give you some insight as to future plans, I will be using a t5 metal halide combo fixture (if I can find one!) The whole thing needs to be simple. Also, I am thinking about a 120 gallon tank.
