What is a mesh mod

[jmp21677]

I have seen this done with the tunze 6025's I have and was wondering what is the benefit and how do you do it. Or better yet who can show me how to do it.

well. if your talking about modding your tunze powerheads, that's different then the mesh mod that poeple do to the impellar of their skimmer pumps.

if you just want your tunze 9025 modded, you can bring it to me at barrier reef, i'll do the tunze for free, it takes 1 minute.

I've seen references to modding the Tunze nano streams, but have yet to see anything definitive about it. I understand its purpose is to increase flow from the nano streams, but beyond that I have no idea. How is it modded, and how much of a flow increase is gained? Does the flow pattern change at all from stock? Pictures would be great if possible?

uhh me wants to know about the nano tunze being modded .
i saw a thread in RC on how you cut some pieces from the tunze but i didn't follow the thread completely.
does it help alot?

you can turn the 600gph tunze 6025 into 1100-1200gph
all you do is dremel off the inner shroud around the prop.

Pics of the areas you're talking about? What kind of improvement is seen when the 6055 is modded in this mannor?

Here is a link to some more information on the Tunze 6025 mod.

It's actually really easy to do and will turn your 6025 into a 6045. That's right the 6025 is nothing more than just a 6045 with more restrictive shroud, both use the exact same motor block.


Check out jnarowe's homepage for pics on this mod.

I modded my tunzes and have had great results. I haven't seen any negatives and the flow increase is great. Very easy to do, I did this myself with a dremel

Hey Dhnguyen,

Good to see you over here....

What sort of improvement will this make on a 6055?

Hi Nick,

I actually haven't seen nor used a 6055 yet so I can't say for certain what mods can be done to increase the flow. Assuming that Tunze had the same inner tube inside the shroud, you should be able to remove it as well and add addition ports to open up the inlet area a bit. This will increase the flow a lot.

One other thing I have done is cut every other rib off the shroud to increase the water inlet area. Did this on a Tunze 6060 and it added about a third more in flow.

on the 6025 it pretty much doubles the flow, but it wont work nearly that well on the 6045, 6055. but will probably still improve the flow a little, depending on the size of the shroud

I did the mod on a pair of 6045's and it does make a improvement. It's free and easy.
