Scwd

[Jeffrey74]

Any comments on this product? Intend to install 1 in my future marine tank after deciding not to give up on this pocket emptying hobby.:p

[devilfire]

u may 1 2 look into my gallery.
most reefers would prefer tunze 2 scwd. i prefer scwd as it can simulate the type of current favourable 2 corals. moreover, i can play ard wif my loc line 2 where the current can direct.

[devilfire]

almost 4 get 2 warn u.
u definitely hav 2 modify it.

just as i thought...devilfire will be the 1st to reply:p saw your gallery quite number of time. it gave me an idea for setting up my tank. i chose scwd bcos i dont intend to have any more pumps in the main tank. you're using 6000l/h pump if i not wrong. how the performance of the scwd? gave you any problem so far? btw, why did you modify the scwd?

[ReDDeviLs]

im using swcd + a 6000l/hr tunze..
might go for another tunze in the future..the controllable 1 if im going into sps..

hey bro devil..
how much you got the hose huh?
i was quoted 60bucks per piece leh,very expensive.

[Jeffrey74]

sure or not, the loc line cost $60?:eek: thought someone told me it's around $20 at Aquastar?

[devilfire]

same sentiments... i didnt 1 2 hav any pump in my main tk b cos
1) ugly
2) extra heat generated
3) extra power pt
4) extra electricity
5) cannot b as flexible as scwd

my return pump is rated at 6500l/h.

no problem wif the scwd so far. FYI, the alternating takes place every 7 sec oni.

u hav 2 sand paper the end of the 3 tubes 2 make it even so tat it can fix into the pvc pipings uniformly. unless u 1 2 use flexible hoses n clamps which r not advisable. u will understand once u physically look at the item.sounds simple?? not many ppl know how 2 do it.

[BarraCuda™]

Its around $20, you dont have to get the original locline, just get the 1 that works

[devilfire]

$60!!!! :eek:

there r 2 types, thou the same but different in colour.
the blue 1 cost $16 n the black 1 cost $25.

isn't the scwd comes in 20mm hole in diameter? rubber hose wif plastic clips not possible? guess have to learn from you how to modify it when i get...;)

[Jeffrey74]

$60!!!! :eek:

the blue 1 cost $16 n the black 1 cost $25.
where you got it from? any difference between blue & black?

[devilfire]

isn't the scwd comes in 20mm hole in diameter? rubber hose wif plastic clips not possible? guess have to learn from you how to modify it when i get...;)

wow, i'm very impressed... u did ur homework b 4 u purchase.
so when u purchase the PVC pipes, take note there r 2 types of 20mm dia. 1 is thicker n the other is smaller. u hav 2 get the former.

i dun really know how 2 explain but the end of the tube of the SCWD hav a "ring". it's tis ring tat will not fit into the PVC pipe. so u hav 2 file or sand away tis ring in order 2 get it fit uniformly.

is the plastic clips strong enough 2 hold the pressure? i'm engineer trained so i dun really trust plastic clips. imagine if the clips 1 day give way n ur head will oso give way. if u use metal clamps oso not advisable.

if u need help u can approach me. i'll b very willing 2.

BTW, where u stay??

[devilfire]

where you got it from? any difference between blue & black?

no difference, oni the colour.
i got it fr octopus bay.

[ReDDeviLs]

difference in colour also difference in price ah!
anywhere i can get the hose from west side? or balestier area?
i use the rubber hose and clamp it leh,why not adviseable huh?

[ReDDeviLs]

btw the changing of current will determind how strong your pump is..
i though 6000l/hr is too strong for scwd?
i read that dont know how many Gallon and above cant use..

[Jeffrey74]

so..."the ring" is the culprit. i know what you mean:D

agreed!!!!

if u need help u can approach me. i'll b very willing 2.

i'll defintely trouble you if i encounter problems:p

BTW, where u stay??

If it's gonna be cheaper this way, I dont see why not to share the shipment cost. Please let me know the cost.:D

[nim75sg]

Reddevils: The cost of the U-Tube is US$5.95 each and you can "tobang" in the same order too. What r you planning to buy?

Jeffrey74: SCWD is US$38.95 & U-Tube is US$5.95.

nim75sg, pressume we going to order 3 scwd 2 U-tubes, how much they charging us for the shipment? I'll give it a pass if the price is close to S$79.00. I only want 1 scwd.

[ReDDeviLs]

im interested in getting 2 u-tubes and a maxijet 1200
but not sure if the voltage for the maxijet there can be use for local.

[nim75sg]

The voltage for the maxijet is 110VAC 60Hz and not suitable for our use unless you buy a auto-switching voltage converter ie step-down from 240VAC to 110VAC.

For shipment cost, will revert after compiling all orders b4 with MarineDepot can confirm the actual shipment cost.

bro ReDDeviLs,

I read in some of the Tunze materials that their pumps are not pressure-rated, which is partially why they're so highly efficient for such low power consumption. When you drive a SCWD with a Tunze 6060 (or 6080), do you notice any problems?

is the converter useable? heard from SRC users that its not reliable and might not be able to use,i was asking abt the red sea wavemaker at that side..
locally its selling like 300+ at the states only 100+ only..

nvm than confirm to get 2u-tubes for me please thanks..
if need deposit let me know.

hi bro deepend..
i think there is some misunderstanding,
i mean to drive scwd with my return pump
and another wave maker which is tunze on the other size..
i think its not possible to drive the tunze with scwd ?

Bro, that means whatever price they asked for shipment fees after compiling the orders we have to pay? Do you think it's cheaper to get from them than we buy it locally?

i dun think anybody will drive a scwd wif a tunze

[devilfire]

better make sure it's fr reliable source. there r many stories abt payment being made n no stock being delivered.

[Jeffrey74]

devilfire, maybe you can be the 1st one diy to let a tunze drive a scwd....haha:p

[devilfire]

devilfire, maybe you can be the 1st one diy to let a tunze drive a scwd....haha:p

tat will b crazy me if i do tat.. :p

[ReDDeviLs]

i think the scwd will explode man hahahaha.

[devilfire]

i think the scwd will explode man hahahaha.

or the tunze blades will break due 2 back pressure.. :p

[ReDDeviLs]

most prob the blade will break hahaha..
finally got my UV today..wonder how long will the ich be under control.

[nim75sg]

Going to finalize the order, pls confirm b4 I check with marinedepot:

RedDevil - 2xU-Turn Tube
Jeffrey - 1xSCWD
Nim75sg - 2xSCWD n 4xU-Turn Tube

Jeffrey: It is always cheaper to buy from overseas, eg my Deltec MCE 600 was only S$600 inclusive of shipping charges.

Devilfire: Thanks for the advice. Didn't encounter any problems ordering from overseas as I had been that road many times already. Even purchased a Diatom Filter (operates at 110VAC 60Hz) for polishing my tanks by using a autoswitching step-down voltage converter from Sim Lim Tower.

[ReDDeviLs]

thanks bro.

[Jeffrey74]

[nim75sg]

I am using a 11W UVC Sterilizer for my 6ft tank .. so far ok.
