    Default Which Powerhead ????

    Was thinking of treating myself to a couple of Tunze 6045 's
    but was told today by a major aquatic store in Manchester that they dont stock them as they've had to much "trouble" in the past noisey,faulty,bad service, no spares, so now I'am confused!!!!

    Ignore em mate - bad advice - Tunze are spot on - had loads of them - no issues.

    I've got tunze and a vortech mp10 running in my tank, I like them both but the vortech is noisy the tunze are silent. But the features in vortech make up for it.
