I agree with sherm on the ro/di being #1. However I feel the vortec would be a good purchase. They are adjustable all the way down to 300gph so you could set it to whatever suits your needs the best. It is always nice to be able to crank up the flow an kick detritus up into the water column so that it can be removed. If you can do that without putting your hands in the tank or having to temporarily add some other type of flow device it is more likely that this task will be performed (Just my two cents). I have gone through several stages of thinking the flow I have should be enough only to add more or upgrade power-heads. If you need flow on the cheap until you get the vortec there are some cheap maxi-jet mods that you can purchase. One of them I have been hearing good things about is the gulf stream 2.
