Vortech Owners

I am currently revamping my 90 Gal.

I have already taken care of upgrading the skimmer. I am in the process of building a new acrylic sump. I hope to find the time to complete if by the end of this month.

I have pretty much decided on the Outer Orbit Pro Series with 2X250W MH and 4 T5s for lighting. (This will be a mixed reef.)

Next issue I want to address is the flow in the system. I am currently running 2xKorilla 2's and 3 MJ 1200s' on a wave maker.

I have seen some videos on YouTube of the Vortech and I am impressed. There are a couple of questions I have:

-Is the unit noisy?

-Can I produce the "wave" action shown in these videos with 1 Vortech + controller, or do I need multiple.

- Will the wave action cause the built in corner overflow box to become noisy with the surge?

- Would it be a better option to use 2xKorilla 4's and the 2x Korilla 2's that I currently have?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

-Brent
