Well as you can see, Scott has it figured out. It's my feeling that they are not sufficient for large tanks, but in this case, they are using a variety of flow mechanisms. For me, I would rather not bring in the extra mechanical risk. I guess the risk is fairly low and you can always have a spare drum on hand.
My next tank will probably have a pressure rated return pump with Penductors to keep the bottom clean and force detritus up and into the overflow, giving me high flow in the tank and lower flow to the sump, while still utilizing just one large pump, plus built-in(hidden) wave boxes. I will shoot for 50,000 - 60,000 gph capacity from the wave boxes so that I can "de-tune" them to provide wicked random flow but without the waves.
