Lol yeah I had thought of that. It is recessed far enough back that a child can't reach the switch and the gap between tank and wall is too narrow for anyone (including my massive biceps) to fit. I think I'll leave the adapter in the cabinet in the other room unplugged when not in use though.

Oh, hahahaha, yeah ok that's a perfect K.I.S.S. approach.

Perhaps I could divert a few volts to the tip of the switch itself by means of a HIDDEN switch hehe.

Well my better half has given me the green light to spend money to buy basically everything except my profilux. I freelance on the side (designer/programmer) so it's seriously time to pump a few projects out so I can get this thing RUNNING!

To order in the very near future:

- 2 x 6105
- 1 x ro/di
- enough 2-part to last me a couple years
- salt
- dry rock
- test kits, heaters. refractometer etc

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Btw I've been told I can run the tunze without a controller in the meantime at default full speed. If anyone disagrees please let me know.

This is correct... however the 7096 multi controllers are much less than the 7095 controllers and much better imo..... I think they are just under $200.00 cad. I did a review on this in the review section if you want more info on them.

I'll check it out. Can my mac interface with it?

I'm 99% sure I'm holding out for a profilux...

Of course I did just read that and it sounds AWESOME. I'll already have some cheap timers for my lights so perhaps I should have the controller right off the bat too and just get the standalone doser later.

So I'm a Tunze guy now =)



The package I bought includes:

- wavebox and wavebox extension
- 1 x6101
- 2 x 6100
- 7095 multicontroller
- 2 x tunze rocks

I had some fun with the wavebox with the tank not circulating. I was only able to hook up one of the waveboxes due to me breaking the little 24V jumper on the transformer for the extension when I was cleaning and checking everything. I've ordered a new jumper.

The problem was when I turned my return pump on! The water level rises too high and there isn't enough clearance on the top of the waveboxes to allow for proper functions. A real bummer as I was looking forward to trying waves for a while.

I'll be selling both units once my new 24V jumper arrives. If anyone is interested please let me know. Both boxes are less than a year old according to the original seller and the pumps both run perfectly.

I'm also selling the rocks I think. I'll figure out what I'm keeping after the mounting clips for the streams arrive.

So the puzzle is getting REALLY close to done now!

Just curious why you didn't go for the 7096 controller?... More features and about half the price. Plus it's got USB to program it...

Nice stuff none the less!
