New Vortech/I'm feeling a bit stunned this morning

[Mikee]

I got 1 and getting a second soon. No need for directional flow IMO because its so wide spread and powerful and i like to keep my sand bed real shallow , i love how there are no wires in the tank and the wet side is very small and takes up little space. I love how you can control the speed and different modes and the battery backup! this could save your tank one day . The sound is really not as bad as some people say i have mine in reef crest mode at full and i can barely hear it unless im right up at it and my whole tank is real quiet and is also in my computer room.

Just got a note that a Vortech20 has been shipped to me today from J&L. Crossing my fingers that this will answer my flow issues. The Vortech40 has way too much power for my small tank even at the lowest setting but the specs for this unit sound like they will work for me.

I will give a review probably next weekend.

Those are the ones my dad has and says they are incredible. He refused to use anything but Tunze but a few months ago was in Texas and bought two anyways. He took them back to Singapore and had them converted and has not looked back. He ordered two more even! He has a 10' tank and two on either end create great flow he says. I will take pics when I see him next month.

i bought 2 a while ago and had problems with them all the time but when i got the new gen2 wet sides on warranty they have worked perfectly since then and will be buying more for other tanks also
