Yes, I like it. Is the vortec working out for you? Do you feel you need another pump on the other side of the tank?

Great! I cant wait to see this in action. Are you going to have this in your tank during the meet? I was kinda hoping to feel the flow. I just got a Tunze myself and so far I like the pulsing flow action but having a hard time getting use to the size. Its bigger than I thought.

Yep it will be running in the tank, its my only source of flow now (well the return from the sump but that's not much) but it gives great movement over 100% of the tank :D

Icecap has said the Battery backup "should" be available Precluding a beta melt-down, in a month, but in limited numbers.
and it looks like they have started shipping the Vortech again so they will be much easier to get soon
