sorry to hear about the tunze troubles mang....I personally have never had any issue with my tunzes......mine have all been new and I take pretty good care of them tho.......if it makes you feel any better we have a shelf full of broken vortech parts at the shop, so they aren't immune to problems either....

Controllable or non-controllable? I'm wondering if it's the variable speed that is the problem and supposing for a moment that's the real issue then I'm not real surprised to hear that Vortech's are probably subject to the same kinds of issues..

Annoying as hell, I hands-down just can't afford to buy another Tunze to replace this one. If it's unserviceable I'm going to have to make do with less flow in the tank for a little while.

both.......mind you Ive always just run the controllable ones(6055s) full blast (even tho I have a controller for them, there was money well spent:mrgreen:)

Well ok think I found something wrong..

... so this probably has nothing to do with controllable/non-controllable. How bloody odd, how does a wire get a knick into it like that?

<sigh> ... <grumble>

I cant remember now......do you have a trigger?

I have a small crosshatch trigger sporting juvenile colours still. I suspect she is a female, I have had her about 18 months and she's gone from 2.5" to about 5" in this time.

wel....triggers do have a reputation for chewing on cords..........and inverts:mrgreen:

Just noticed your post is reply 666, so I better reply quick and get past that number. :lol:

I think she can be exonerated in this case, the spot on the cord would sit inside the propeller cover, it's also on the inside of the bend the cord has to make to get outside the propeller cover. It could be that the insulation pinched somehow but I'm thinking maybe someone used something sharp to scrape coraline off when cleaning it. This particular 6105 I bought second-hand but I can't even remember who from, it's been a few months. I do remember thinking it was remarkably clean for a second-hand powerhead. :lol:

Tony it's ridiculous that one of our flagship builds gets so little action lately. It's update time bro =)

Oh my, nothing since May? :eek: Ok then, challenge accepted. :p New pictures will be up .. um .... as soon as possible. :redface:
