Tunze Sea Sweep with 6105 question

goody · Aug 9, 2023

I bought a couple of used Sea Sweeps a few years back and I'm finally building an 80g that I plan on using these. I initially was going to use some 6055s I had, but they are old and were pretty loud, so I'm going to use my "newer" non-controller 6105s.
Tank is only 80g (32"x24"x24") I can't find my 12v jumpers so they currently have the 18v jumpers in and I have the flow turned all the way down.
About how many gph am I getting now and is it too much for my planned mixed reef?
How much less gph would I get with the 12v jumpers installed? Or what is min. and max flow with 12v? Do you have part#?

Since 2016 we have used power supply 6101.240, it is 24V all the time as pumps made since 2015 include a controller and jumpers are not needed and were a failure point, specifically a point of salt creep and water entry. 12V roughly halves the flow over 24V which is full power, 18V is between, pump would be roughly equal to a 6095, about 2400 gph, I attach a link for the 12V jumper, I have 2 in stock in the US, these jumpers will all be discontinued as they sell out, in general, I would hesitate to buy them, they are cheap enough but a power supply this old, may not last much longer if it saw much use. Note the website reflects stock in Germany, since I have them in the US, you can order them and they will be sent provided you don;t order more than 2.

Thanks for the reply Roger. These models are older power heads but only have about 6 months use. Are you saying that I can just buy a 12v power supply OR buy these last two 12v jumpers?
So can you clarify gph with a 12v jumper and flow dial turned all the way down. I'm thinking I will buy the 2 jumpers from you.

There is no 12V power supply for the 6105, current power supplies are 24V full time, no jumpers. I would order the 2 12V jumpers.

At full power it will be about 1800gph, all the way down, about 500-600.

Understood on the power supplies being full time 24v just wasn't sure if I could buy any 12v power supply. Please let me know how to order the jumpers.

It won't let me add to cart since it shows not in stock.

Received the jumpers.

What is the best way to have these oscillating? Tank is 80g (32x24x24) and I have them on the rear wall of tank near corners.

I am not sure I understand? Do you mean what programming you should have on the controller for the pump as far as pulsing? The SeaSweep is not made by us, it is made by aquarium currents and I would not have much input over best oscillation pattern, since this is not really adjustable except by placement.
