    Hey All,
    Thought I would pass this along. I saw this on another forum. Apparently a new powerhead design that does't use ac power and works with magnets.

    Wow.:shocked2: What a great idea. I want a couple. Too bad they will probably be insanely expensive when they come out. :ohwe:

    Looks like a Tunze Stream pump.
    Is it going through the glass or is it held on magnetically?

    Matt,
    I read that they will have controllers for them and I think it said it will be able to control up to 10 devices.

    Cool Design. The only draw back I see is that the pump will have to be at right angles to the glass it might make mounting it the way you want kinda difficult.
