About Us
TUNZE High-Tech Aquarium Ecology
For forty-eight years the name TUNZE® has been synonymous with aquarism. Many products and components which we have developed in the course of time are now standard features of aquarium technology today. This confidence in TUNZE® is no coincidence. The company has remained true to its philosophy right from the beginning, researching water biotopes all over the world to develop components which enable natural water conditions in the closed environment of an aquarium. In the implementation of know-how, effectiveness and efficiency, TUNZE® takes the lead in environmental compatibility. Our motto is: quality and reliability. These values are upheld with well thought-out and precise tool making by highly qualified experts. The brand names of TUNZE® and Turbelle® meet the expectations of the seal of quality; "Made in Germany". Many of the products shown in this catalogue are protected by national and international patents.

Philosophy
TRADITION
Since the construction of the first Turbelle® pump back in 1960, the name of TUNZE® has been synonymous with a family-run company which makes dreams come true for many aquarists. Modern machinery provides the necessary flexibility in production. Nonetheless, many components require precise hand assembly some with over one hundred steps in assembly.
QUALITY
Quality and safety always play an important role for us. Turbelle® submerged centrifugal pumps have been practical proof for decades. On account of their long service life our products are gentle to the environment.
SERVICE
What is a product worth without good after-sales service ? We want you to be totally satisfied. Our entire programme is available to you over the Internet. You can order all available spare parts directly. In case you have any questions, we will be pleased to help you by email or telephone hotline.
TIME AND PLEASURE
It makes good sense to have more time to look after the animals and plants rather than having to deal with the technology. We want to help you save time – fewer water changes, automatic water refill, fast change of filter, quick cleaning of the skimmer or aquarium panes. With our products you will have more time to enjoy beautiful aquariums.
NATURAL CONDITIONS
We want natural conditions for animals and plants in aquariums – no more, but no less either. Our filter systems ensure a fast and efficient extraction of impurities, and our circulation pumps produce near-natural water movements.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The excessive consumption of energy is a financial burden and a burden to the environment. To this day, our pumps hold the record for performance/power consumption. As a result they produce a minimum of heat emission into the water. Our production processes take environmental issues into consideration.
ENERGY SAVING
By producing energy efficient products we contribute to lower CO2 emissions. To highlight products which are especially efficient we have noted such items with the label TUNZE ENERGY SAVING.
RESEARCH
An old proverb says: "A rolling stone gathers no moss" ! Every component is examined carefully against the latest knowledge in aquarium ecology; and the electrical and ergonomic aspects are further developed. In long term tests all products are perfected. Not without good reason, customers all over the world employ TUNZE® products for fish breeding and display aquariums.
INNOVATION
With our know-how, we want to open up new horizons and offer individually adapted aquarium technology. Time and time again we call everything into question so that the technology meets today’s understanding of biology.
