I've searched the web and couldn't find anything similar in any of the languages that I'm familiar with (English).

Anyone out there have any maintenance experience with this? Seems to be real simple device... But...
How long have you had your tunze? Did you use any thing before that to simulate wave (alternating current) like dual controlled power heads? If so which do you prefer?

I checked out tunze link http://www.tunze.com/149.html?&L=1&C..._tunzeprod_pi1[predid]=-infoxunter016

and checked out ecotech's vortec MP-40 with controller http://ecotechmarine.com/products/mp...w-upgrade-kit/

tough decision........The tunze is the proven all-in-one true wave maker at the cost of bulk inside the tank, the MP-40 requires two oblique power heads with a controller and may not be a true wave maker but is less bulky and puts the heat from the motor outside the tank. I have also heard that it is a little noisy though.

What are your toughts?
