Flame on dude.
I've got a 55g tank. Should I run it at 3000gph and have my
DSB torn asunder?
I estimate it is at 1000g<->1200g right now, and my return is another 300gph. That is 22-28 times turnover of broad (non-laminar) flow in a largely non-sps tank, which is more than enough from what I've read.
The Vortech also transfers nearly zero heat to the tank, doesn't look like an eyesore, and has wave modes so current is randomized somewhat.
Sure I could have gone cheaper with a retrofit maxijet or two, but then I would have cords draping over my frameless, open-top tank - which somewhat defeats the purpose.
