Got the new Nanostream 6045 tonight.

[TXKev]

I got a call from Aquatek today and they had gotten a few of the 6045's in and had 2 of them waiting for me. I put them into my 90 and they really give me some nice flow. It doesn't produce the power of my Modded maxi-jet, which is a good thing. I had a hard time finding a position in the tank where the maxi did not overpower my corals. They also look so much cooler than the maxi and the Seio I had in there.

Cool! Im liking my 6025 so far and Im glad to hear the 6045s are nice too

[LoneStar]

Nice. Update us on how well they work in the upcoming weeks. I'm looking to get 2 of them so I would like to know how well the 1st batch turned out ;)

[Ram_Puppy]

yup, also interested, would much rather put two of these in than have to plumb up my oceans motions for the 30 cube. (friggin SCWD has jammed up twice in a single month.)

[blueboy]

yep, i'm watching these too, considering some for my new 60G cube.

[JimD]

Ram, are you using a pre-filter on the scwd? Ive had one running for over two years and have yet to have to clean it and its never locked up.

I'm using a pair of the 6025s on my corner tank, anxiously awaiting the 6045s. Premium still does not have them but is expecting a few early next week.

[TXKev]

From what they told me at Aquatek, only 7 made it to the US this week. I was so glad I put my name on the list. So far they seem to provide pretty good flow. They also look so much better than the Seio and modded Maxi. I also like the fact that they have the magnet holders. I was always so worried the suction cups would give and create a sandstorm.

Thanks,
Kevin

[Ram_Puppy]

how much are each model running for?

Jim, No, I just have the grate on there... the scwd was never meant as anything but a temporary measure on this tank anyhow, and I am doig my best to get power heads OUT of the tank in general.

[LoneStar]

The 6045's are $96.63 at Premium Aquatics. With the way Tunze does their pricing, its going to be that price everywhere. Thats fine with me. Seems like a good deal for 1,189gph @ only 8w. Plus it comes with a integrated magnet mount :)

I have seen some other online stores(can't recall which ones) doing a $40 deposit for the 6045's, and the remaing balance when they come in.

[Ram_Puppy]

if I get some, I will be getting the 6025's.

would 2 in each corner of a 30 cube be overkill you think? i'd have them on a controller for wavemaking.

[matt]

I'll be selling my pair of 6025s if the 6045s don't kick up a sandstorm in my tank. If they do, I'll sell the 45s. I spoke with Premium and I'm getting the 6045s next week; I've been on the wait list since August. Since these things are in real demand, I'm pretty sure I won't have any problem selling them. The 25s are producing really good flow in my corner tank; it's just that my tank is right in between the recommended size for each pump. If the 45s do work out it will be 2600gph in a 50 gallon tank with no noise and 60 watts.

[Ram_Puppy]

matt, can you PM me w/ your decision? i am not in any big hurry, but i'll avoid the waiting process if i can. ;)

[apedroza]

Are the 45's the controllable ones???

[discuspro]

I think the 55's are the controllable ones.

Are the 45's the same size as the 25's?

[LoneStar]

The 45's are same as the 55's in terms of gph. The 45's are just NOT controllable. The 55's are, and therefore almost $100 more. :)

[TXKev]

The 6045's ran me $96 each. The way mine are setup I have no problems with sand blowing. I went in to Aquatek today and they had 3 of the 6025's on the shelf. So far am am loving mine.
