After discovering this site in the last month and reading tons of threads, i've come to the conclusion that my tank is in desperate need of more water flow. My budget at this point is around $400. I'm debating between the following:
- EcoTech Vortech
- Tunze (either streams or the bigger nano-stream)
- Modified MJ's
I'd like something that mounts with a magnet instead of suction cups or clamps (more aesthetically pleasing IMO). For that budget it looks to me like I could get one of the following combinations:
- One EcoTech (approx $350)
- Two non-controllable Tunze 6060 w/magnet mounts ($350)
- Two non-controllable Tunze 6080 w/magnet mounts ($450)
- Tunze stream kit 6000 pump w/magnet mount ($355)
- Tunze stream kit 6100 pump w/magnet mount ($428)
- Some combination of the nano streams?
- Two MJ's + kits + magnet mounts (approx $130)
The modified MJ's are obviously the most cost efficient, but they're also not a finished product. I'm not the best DIY'r, and since Oceanflo is on permanent hiatus i'd have to do it myself. Not too much of a problem I guess if it comes with good directions.
My tank:
110 Gallon acrylic flat-back hex (5 ft long, 18 inches wide, 28 deep).
Stocked with tons of LR, 6 fish and a few leathers and mushrooms.
Plan on adding soft corals and LSP's eventually.
Any suggestions or experiences (good or bad) with the combinations i've come up with?
