Do you just want people in Calgary people to comment?

I'm using OM 4-way with a Dart. Got it plumbed with 4-1" outlets in each bottom corner of the tank and I can definitely see the random flow with the GSP and Xenia swaying back and forth.

Can buy direct from OM http://www.oceansmotions.com/store/?...911e88344c05f1.

I have two. Both connected to Dart pumps, each going to 4x1" inputs. 2 of the outlets are delivering water at any given time. I'm very happy with them. If I did it again, I might use LARGER tank bulkheads because when the water fires out of the 1" outlet, it is really moving!

They can be sensitive to fine sand. They jammed on me when I was installing rocks and sand. Paul has a modified piece that can help you if you think you'll have sand issues. Since I've stopped moving rocks and sand around, they've been problem free for about 6 months now.

I like the water flow that I get when I have both OMs sychronized. One must rotate slightly faster than the other because I need to resynch them every 4 months or so.

The Squirt handles a fraction of the flow (1000gph vs. 7500gph+), for starters. The Super Squirt handles up to 2500gph.

They are absolutely, completely silent. I don't know how much power they draw, but I would venture to guess that it is very little.
