Just to add my 2 cents in...there has never been evidence that bowfronts break their seal anymore than rectangle tanks do....the seals and pressure are no different on a rectangle or bowfront. There USED to be concern about independently made bowfronts that were made with thinner glass than what was required...thus would cause 'flexing' in the front glass and therefore leak. AllGlass and Oceanic have NO flex...therefore are no different than a rectangle in pressure...the framing is also the same.......

Sea swirls and Wave2k work differently. I do believe the largest seaswirl can only handle 600-800GPH through them. There's also a new product out called Wavysea which I think is an attachment for powerheads that pans them back and forth like a sea swirl.

Are those the things that clip on to lock line and rotate? If they are they are pretty neat. I have seen them at BA's and Ocean Aquatics before.

amanda , why not go with say a set of Seio's 1100's if you are worried about spending money.

Or get a tunze for the tnak a bit or money but a really good investment..
I would preferr the Seio;s for what they cost...
