New State of the art Tumbler Review (ZET-80)

[rcombs]

Bought a state-of-the-art tumbler. Should arrive within a week or so. I post updates of this vs the DIY tumbler made with sponge filter parts. This guy has 5 years into developing these. Example videos ect on link.

I saw one of those when I was looking to replace a few things. Let me know how it works for you. Everything I've read on it pretty much says top quality.

What are the prices for the two models?

Don't get me wrong. I have success with the DIY tumbler, but if I can do something better, I'm willing to give it a try.

 I don't have enough air pressure in my tumblers with the big batch of eggs I just pulled. Appears there is a dead spot where the tube and the bullet fitting meet on inside of the tumbler. The eggs bouncing in the middle seem to push some eggs to the side and they settle sometimes for too long and I lose them. Maybe I'm the only one with such luck.

I am taking one for the team and will let everyone know how it works and if my hatch rate improves. I emailed back and forth with the guy for a few days. He has me convinced, sales line or not, he told me I will get close to 100% hatch rate. Excited to experiment.

Price is a pretty penny, someone DIY this. Hate to take idea away from Zissaqua, but hey, thats what DIY is about. Saving a fortune to do something.

Here is same concept sorta. He uses a maxi-jet by looks of it. Uses forced water into a cylindrical shaped housing unit.


zissaqua uses air. The more energy efficient way.

Looks like if we all put our heads together we can do it. lol Ideas?

Looks really slick and expensive. 

I think the body and the central portion are the hardest part of the DIY. Everything else seems simple.

Call me European, but I just don't see the necessity to tumble eggs for anything aside from the most expensive fronts/petros/tropheus. Just give the mother 2.5-3 weeks to do the job naturally and ta-da(!), they've been tumbled.

This would work in some cases. My females are becoming notorious for swallowing the eggs after day 4. If I strip on day 2 or 3, I get them to hatch.
