InterZoo, a large trade show dedicated to the care of pets, is where the European heavy weights in the marine aquaria hobby release there latest and greatest. Roger Vitko, owner of TunzeUSA, was kind enough to take a step away to share some of Tunze?s (pronounced toon-zah) newest product developments with his loyal customer base?

We bring your attention to the newly designed Stream2. Smaller and quieter than previous models, but with the same low electric consumption. If you look at the photos you can see they have enlarged the slots, lessening restriction from the previous housings? Hopefully an increase in gph? Not only does this design look better, it comes with magnet mounts like those on the 6025/45/55 models. These are due out by the end of summer.

Next up is the 7096 Multicontroller. It will be about $100 less than the current 7095 controller and via USB allows separate control of each pump and over the food timer. This nice compact unit can also control waveboxes?which might become much more prevalent with the release of their Nano-Wavebox?

The Nano-Wavebox is designed for tanks between 30-150 gallons. It measures in at L 4.9 x W 2.1 x H 8.6in.  Not bad at all if performs anywhere near the larger model. Here?a shot of it in action at InterZoo. Note the Aqua Wind Fans mounted on the left side of the tank.

To go along with the Master DOC Skimmer line, Tunze has created the NW powered 9410. Electric consumption is only 16w, but no reports yet on air draw. Tunze is crediting a Neodymium drive unit for the low electric consumption. Two pump sizes will be available and MSRP is reported to be less than $450 for this plug and play unit. Both this model and the Master DOC skimmer will now come with 50um filter socks as you see pictured.
