I don't know if I have any pics, but they're great units. Older versions used thinner plastic for the C-clamp which broke very easily (both of mine did). I guess newer ones use thicker plastic, but it might be worth having an extra clamp or two.

I wouldn't waste my money on the 6045. I bought a 6045 and a 6025 and within 30 minutes of owning the 6025 did the shroud mode that took 5 minutes and gave it the same flow as the 6045. I would have just bought two 6025's if I had to do it again.
one of my many cheesy uploads on youtube (more useful than pics).

thanx for the replies. i just got my tunze 6045 today. so far, i am impressed. the flow is much wider spread and gentler compared to the koralia. if the tunze holds up good the next few weeks, i think i am going to get the 6055 controllable tunze to replace the other koralia i still hv in my reef. i also picked up a yellow toadstool today with my trade-in today. will post pics of it once it opens up under the reef thread.

not my experience at all.
koralia: quieter (not that the tunze are loud. I cant hear them either unless I'm right over the tank but I cant hear the koralias at all), cheaper, superior wider dispersed flow pattern (with attachment off)
tunze: better power to size ratio, superior mounting and aimability (I cant aim a Koralia where my tunze 6025 is without mounting it on a viewing panel while the tunze is on the backwall pointing 45deg from the mount), several known easy shroud mods to improve/alter performance, better looking.
