Anybody who's ANYONE runs Vortechs. I've always believed that.

The first part is true though..

I do love the idea of Vortechs.. however, every time I pick up the box and drool over it, my euphoria is quickly squashed by the price tag, then I start to twitch a little..

I guess I will never get to sit at the cool kids table

Some of those cool kids never budget their builds for fish and corals though

hmm, that strategy had never occurred to me.. brilliant! Who needs fish and corals when you can just sit there and watch your Vortech swoosh your water back and forth :-) Throw in some neon beads and you've really got a show!

- No heat transfer to the tank
- smaller footprint
- Provdes water FLOW vs Overpowering Jet of water.

Worth the money in my mind.


You got sweet SPS, you can still sit at the cool kids table.

Since you asked nicely, here you go :-) (do excuse the white balance. There are 4 sources of light in that room and all 4 are a different colour temperature )











Need to paint the stand then plumb when I get back from Mexico. I suppose I could just take a page from Josh's book and just leave it all raw like :-)

Looks awesome.. My stand won't be raw forever!

Looks good Kien...and and now for the fun part (at least for me)...plumbing and then aquascaping....Im envious of the "new tank high" you must be on....
