Loving your tank. :biggrin:

Yeah I'm loving that one too.

I'm caving back into the black background scene... this thread is too much for me :sad:

Thanks guys

Ya, really nice, I have to come by one day.

Hey Badazzlars...did you go from tunze to vortech or the other way around and why?

Looks great by the way...in another year or two it will be kick'n.

Hey Wayne. Post one up of your tank. I don't believe I've seen it......Im sure its great, even if its a work in progress (which they all are).

Here is mine from last month.....

I started the tank off with vortech's. 2 mp40wes. Those worked great for awhile but as things are growing I wasn't getting good flow to the back corners due to the large center overflow so I have just recently added two tunze 6025's modified to either side of the overflow box and this takes care of the low flow areas that I was experiencing.

I love the vortechs and don't have much experience with the higher end Tunze models. I think for a tank my size the vortechs are the best bet as they take up minimal real estate. If I did a larger tank 400+ gallons I think that I would have a combination of both. Vortechs on the side walls and then some Tunzes on the back on a rotating device.

After having this tank setup for awhile I really wish I had gone for an external overflow. I would never do a tank with an internal overflow again especially a center overflow. They just create water flow problems and require you to have too many powerheads. Lesson learned. But hey, it gives me a reason to upgrade some time :biggrin:.

Wayne, you can come by and check it out any time. Maybe wait till you have another frag of red planet available and we can do some trading :biggrin:.
