Mostly i just wanted to give it a try. i like the idea of the flow not being in a fixed direction. if it doesnt last fine(thanks for the warning) i will just put a used koralia in as a have a few lying around. agreed it is pretty big and the mounting bracket SUCKS. the flow wont be and issue as i think it may be closer to too much than not enough. i tested it in my current 10g and blew the Crap outta my torch (they claim the 214 is for upto 30 gallons). i do preffer koralias myself but wanted to try something new.

MJ's ??????????
