On top of that, they would have to be wireless as I despise even a single wire entering the display tank... My way would not be alot cheaper, depending on how many surge outlets you wanted... The last few reefs I built ran 4 ways divided into multiple outlets feeding eductors, they surged as well as any tunze could, and your not limited to the size restrictions that the tunzes are. Havent priced them out lately but what would 12-16 big tunzes and the controllers run? Then you still have a mess of huge powerheads with wires running everywhere.... Just my opinion, also my way isnt pratical on smaller tanks that make up the majority of this hobby anyway.
I dont agree with you last comment at all...... The tank is more than nice, its awe inspiring!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I agree that equipment in a tank looks bad and I would love to get away from it someday. I guess in the mean time I'll strive for corals that will draw the eyes to them instead of the powerheads. Not an easy thing to do. What size is your tank?
