I am setting up my new 180 reef tank and am trying to decide on the powerheads. I was going to do 2 Turbelles stream 6000 from Tunze with the 7095 controller. However, I just came across the new Vortech from Icecap and was thinking of runnign two of them instead. I know the wave contoller wont be out till early next year but it sounded preaty insaine. Does anyone here have experience with both of these powerheads (or either one of them). Trying to learn the pros and cons before I decide on one.

Why?

The tunzes have a better reputation, dont need their bearings replaced every couple of months, are cheaper, produce just as much flow, and have a controller that is more than vaporware.


I dont even like tunzes, fwiw, I run maximods (and a single tunze that will get sold at some point)
