They've been talked about for the last couple of months. Yes they look simple but I think there some difficulties involved beyond glueing a prop to your impeller. The mounting bracket would be simple.

Posted to this on a different thread, the mounting shaft shouldn't be too hard but then I haven't started really looking for something suitable yet. Walmart carries the pump in Ontario.

See my post in the Reef section. smile.gif

I agree, the mounting bracket shouldn't be that hard, but to make it look good is another matter.

I agree that shaft is the hardest thing...it has to be a very good fit and finish, even the slightest off centre will create all sorts of problems.

Even better, why not view what Mustang has built on Reef Central. He calls it what you get when you cross Tunze & ReefTec...

Looks good and not bulky like the ReefTec, try it out. It's in the DIY forum on Reef Central. :D

They are not that difficult to build. My husband built 2 PE-2's. The hardest thing was finding the prop. Most hobby stores don't stock the R designated propellor so you have to special order them usually. I have to say that these things coupled with seaswirls provide some of the best random current generation I have seen for medium/large tanks. Mustangs design is much more compact which is even better :) We are using a black prop at the moment...not sure if it makes much of a difference when compared to the Octura 1250R...we did have to remove the metal nut though. We also put a guard of black eggrate (now that was hard to find) over the outlet as the reeftecs are on a wavemaster and I didn't want starfish/fish puree...
