Why does BRS recommend this?
Tunze Controllable pumps have been around for years and year with a great reputation. Tunze now includes a controller with all their controllable powerheads which greatly increases their value. The Turbelle pumps are very quiet, and for everything you get the price is hard to beat.
Wide-flow DC pump from German-made Tunze powerheads - one of the best high flow powerheads available.The design of the 6095 helps the propeller pull in more water and push out more water extremely efficiently. The wide-flow produces a much less directed flow pattern (2-3 Ft around) and reaches over 3 Ft at a slightly slower flow than the Tunze Turbelle 6055. Great for tanks 3 Ft or less in length.
Tunze pumps are excellent high flow powerheads for a number of reasons
- They are the smallest pumps available and easy to hide.
- They rotate to a wide range of angles for targeted flow.
- They consume less power.
- Available accessories such as the Tunze Rock and Controllers make them even more user-friendly.
- Excellent warranty and customer service.
High flow is very important to maintaining a thriving healthy aquarium. Aquariums with poor flow can experience a number of easily avoidable health issue. Using high flow powerheads in your aquarium will:
- Significantly decrease the risk of algae outbreaks.
- Keep waste and particles suspended longer so skimmers and filters have a better chance of removing them.
- Prevent toxic pockets from forming in hard to reach areas.
- Keep debris from collecting on corals.
- Keep food suspended longer so you can add less food.
- Increase the chances of long term healthy tank success.

Product Questions
I have an 8' acrylic tank with two internal box overflows. I would like to place the back of the tank close to the wall so I would not have easy access to the outside magnets mounted on the back of the tank. Could I instead mount the 6095 pumps on the overflow boxes such that the "outside" magnets would be inside the overflow boxes and fully submerged in salt water? They appear to be fully encapsulated in plastic.
Question by: Kenneth Smolana on Jan 19, 2020, 4:26 PM
Hey there!
Yes, the magnet can be completely submerged. Just make sure it does not have any nicks in the plastic coating.
Take care

How do I connect this pump to the apex? the cable 2 Channel Apex to Tunze Stream Cable - Neptune Systems does not plug into the pump controller. There is only one plug in it and that is for the power supply. Is there something else I need.
Question by: Nicole Corbett on Nov 24, 2017, 2:20 AM
Connecting Tunze Controllable pumps does require the use of the Apex to Stream pump connection cable. There is an open connection port on the Tunze controller that will let it connect to the Apex's variable speed ports. A single cable can control up to two Tunze pumps individually.

Will this pump magnet work with a 1/2" glass thickness?
Question by: curt on Feb 3, 2015, 5:11 AM
Great Question Curt! This will work on 1/2" glass, the 6095 will work on glass up to 15mm.

Will the Apex VDM module work with the Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6095 pump? Also, what's the difference between the Turbelle and the Turbelle Nanostream pumps?
I have a 240 (8' long) tank. I have two Vortech MP40s on either end, but there isn't enough flow. I would like to add two pumps on the back wall. I tried another MP40 but it was too much flow - sand was blowing everywhere. I would also like to be able to point the flow. That's why I'm considering the Tunze. Do you have any recommendations on which Tunze to get? It's a mixed reef.
Thanks,
Daire

Hi Daire,
The apex VDM moldule (and the VDM to tunze cable) is exactly what you would need for a controllable tunze pump like the 6095. When it comes to the differences is name, the nano streams are smaller pumps (youll see the smaller, lower flow pumps are labeled turbelle "nano"stream) and the others are " turbelle stream" pumps.
The tunze is a great pump and if you want something that has a fairly dispersed flow like the vortechs, but you can point in the direction you want, the 6095 is the route to go.
