MP20 on a 72g bow front???

[easterly81]

Is wave motion ok for an "All Glass" 72 gal bow front with the "All glass" stand.

I noticed in manual it says to ask the manufacturer of the tank but i have not heard from them.

So i was wondering if anyone was had a vortech on a all glass 72 bow front.

All so when centering the pump do you take into fact the bow or not?

Thanks

Many people use the VorTech on AGA tanks. In theory it will weaken the integrity of your tank if run constantly for years and years but considering how long our tanks are typically up for this is not really a huge concern.

what about the centering with the bow?

I do not understand what you mean in regard to centering with the bow? Do you mean aligning the two halves or do you mean positioning the pump?

positioning the pump not the two halfs

I would say that only experimentation will tell you the best way on this. I wouldn't say that there is an intrinsic issue to worry about with regard to placement on a bow front tank. If anything the bow will create more random water movement as the flow comes off of it.

Someone with more experience on bow front tanks may chime in here and be of more help than me.
