Description
Orca MK2 without the pump. Will work with your 6055, 6075, 6095, 6105 HUB Edition Models.
Product Overview: Tunze ORCA MK2 (Oscillating Unit)
The ORCA MK2 is a high-tech oscillating mount developed in collaboration with ReefHub. It is designed to physically rotate a circulation pump inside the aquarium, mimicking the chaotic and changing flow patterns of a natural reef more effectively than pulsing a stationary pump.
Key Features & Design
-
Oscillating Mechanism:
-
Dynamic Movement: The unit physically rotates the attached pump, allowing for directional flow changes that cover a much wider area of the tank.
-
Magnetic Encoder: It features an integrated magnetic sensor that precisely tracks the pump's alignment. This ensures the unit knows exactly where it is pointing at all times, preventing "drift" or mechanical jumps and ensuring reliable, repeatable motion.
-
Silent Operation: The movement is engineered to be quiet, utilizing high-quality internal components to minimize noise during rotation.
-
-
Construction & Materials:
-
Carbon Fiber Shaft: The vertical tube that lowers the pump into the water is made from high-quality carbon fiber. This material was chosen for its extreme rigidity, lightweight properties, and resistance to saltwater corrosion.
-
Fully Encapsulated Electronics: The control electronics and motor are completely sealed in PU (polyurethane) resin. This makes the unit waterproof and resistant to saltwater corrosion, protecting it against splashes and temporary submersion.
-
German Manufacturing: The device utilizes drag chain cables (designed for constant motion without breaking) and components manufactured directly in Tunze's Bavarian facility.
-
-
Mounting System:
-
Versatile Clamp: The mount is designed to sit securely on the rim of the aquarium. It is compatible with both rimless pools and aquariums with glass ledges (euro-bracing).
-
Glass Thickness: It can accommodate glass thicknesses up to 22 mm (0.87").
-
Tool-Free Adjustment: The carbon fiber tube allows for fine height adjustments without the need for tools, letting you position the flow depth precisely where needed.
-
-
Smart Control:
-
App Integration: The unit is "smart" and controlled via the Tunze Reef Assistant App (available on iOS and Android).
-
Flow Sculpting: Through the app, you can program specific "flow scenarios." You can synchronize the pump's power with its physical angle—for example, having the pump blast at 100% power when facing the reef crest but dial down to 30% when sweeping past a delicate sand bed.

-
Power & Safety:
-
Safety Connector: It typically includes a medical-grade power supply unit ensuring high reliability and safety standards.
-
Low Voltage: Operates on safety extra-low voltage for aquarium safety.
-
