xlzerolx Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Carlos has made me jealous. Is this the smallest riptide that will be available? Or do they get smaller? Also will this be controllable, i.e vary speed automatically, or maybe even reverse the flow by having the motor turn the other way? Would really be cool to have to of these anti - synced on opposite sides of a tank! I am definitely excited about this product! Please keep us updated! Edit: Never mind I just read the other thread!!! this will be awesome! Link to comment
CoralVue Aquarium Products Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Look for a new video and pre-register page tonight/tomorrow morning on the front banner of the CoralVue website. Link to comment
CoralVue Aquarium Products Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Pre-registration and new video! http://www.coralvue.com/ Link to comment
xlzerolx Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Pre-registration and new video! http://www.coralvue.com/ So how does someone in Canada pre-register? Only for US residents? Link to comment
CoralVue Aquarium Products Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Canada has their own distributor, CoralVue can only sell Maxspect in the US and Mexico. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Pre-registered as well. Will there be any sort of battery back-up we can purchase? Having a 72 hours of backup in my mp10 is kind of a huge deal to me. It looks like 1 of these could probably replace several powerheads which would be amazing. Link to comment
CoralVue Aquarium Products Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Did everyone pre-register for the Riptide on the CoralVue website? www.coralvue.com Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Still no video of it switching directions Link to comment
CoralVue Aquarium Products Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Next set of samples will have a simple controller, I should have them 2nd or 3rd week of July. Don't worry, it can run in reverse!!! Link to comment
Outofstock Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Pre-registered as well. Wonder what the largest will be, I have a 30 x 30 cube having it on the back wall behind my rock work might work very well. I have two 1100 koralias and a canister filter for flow now. Maybe one on the back behind my rock work, then an Mp10 on the side glass to help with flow and ditch the koralias. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Next set of samples will have a simple controller, I should have them 2nd or 3rd week of July. Don't worry, it can run in reverse!!! You have said a few times that the flow can be 'aimed' in a sense by rotating the cover of the, uh, spinny thing, I guess it's not really an impeller? lol. Anyway, so I would assume that it has two 'exits' that are opposite each other for flow to come out of when it switches directions? As it is all well and good that it can make a gyre from the top of the water column to the bottom like in all the videos thus far, but it would be utterly impossible to switch the direction using one riptide as you would simply be blowing water straight into the glass panel that it is on, which would disturb the sandbed (even on tall tanks) and shoot water out of the tank. Not the best scenario lol. If possible, can you get more pictures of the outlet(s) of the Riptide and where the flow would be coming from in both forward and reverse? Link to comment
Reefwiser Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hope you get a sample of a smaller unit. Would love to see how the flow works on a 25 gallon tank. Link to comment
CoralVue Aquarium Products Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 A single sided RipTide just arrived, we will start testing and take some photos and videos early next week.

Ben, I can better answer this question when the next set of samples arrive in 2 weeks. I'll have detailed photos taken to show the outlets. Chris Link to comment

Steensj2004 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I would combine this with some thing like an MP10 Link to comment
xlzerolx Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Anything that looks like a light saber in my tank will be a good thing Link to comment
farkwar Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Will this product be a Vortech killer? Tell us more about this product! http://reefbuilders.com/2014/05/22/riptide-gyre-generator-brings-maxspect-water-pump-market/'>http://reefbuilders.com/2014/05/22/riptide-gyre-generator-brings-maxspect-water-pump-market/ I am considering on an MP40 for my 50g display, not really impressed with the 10 in my 40b actually, I doubt one would be enough for the 50. When I get it working for desired flow the dry side heats up like crazy.Even considered the small Tunze wave box With one mp10. Link to comment
