I also am very happy with my single Vortech (with wireless wave driver and battery backup). Produces enough broad flow around the tank to keep
detritus suspended (and push the sand a bit), and I only have it on at maybe 30% on my 55g. I've had to apply epoxy putty under one
frag mount (so far) to keep the Vortech from tipping it over. The "Reefcrest" mode randomizes the intensity somewhat, and the battery backup has already proven its use during two power outages.
As far as noise is concerned, once I aligned the wet and dry sides by looking through my tank, its been running extremely quiet. Only in "Pulse" mode can you hear the pump rev up and down, and barely at that.
At 30%, my Vortech doesn't produce much heat. At most, barely warm on the dry side.
