Flow Question...

So my 360g is ordered and should be delivered in late July. I decided to go with 4 250w mh as the tank is only 24" deep. Sump/skimmer should be taken care of soon. So my next problem is display flow. I wont use the vortechs again, horrible experience there. I was thinking of a wavebox and really like having complete water movement but the drawback is that they are sort of an eyesore... I dont have much experience with tunze besides my osmolator but that has worked great. I guess the only other option I could think of would be some tunze powerheads on a driver? Oh and I am trying to avoid a closed loop as it wont be drilled for one and I always seem to get a tiny leak somwhere with my pvc. lol

History- Upgrading my Oceanic 180 mixed reef to a DSA 360(8 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft). Building my own stand here shortly and having a custom sump made. While it will be lightly stocked at first my octopus extreme 200 will be my skimmer but as my bioload increases so will the skimmer.

Cliffnotes version- Looking for experience on large tanks with waveboxes...

will you be able to share what are your bad experience regarding vortechs? thanks
 
keep an eye on the thickness of your tank vs useing vorteks, I know I have a heck of a time with any magnet mount over 1"

Nope wont be using them but this brings up another point will the tunze wavebox magnets also have a problem? Anyone running a wavebox on their larger tank that wouldnt mind sharing their experiences?
 
Nice I am going to pm some of the people from that thread that have the waveboxes. I havent really heard anything bad about them besides the appearance issue.
