vortech on large tank

Member
Anyone using vortecs on their tank. I have a 300 gallon 96x24x30

currently running 2 3/4 sea swirls, 2 3/4 stationary returns, 4 kroillia #4 power heads. Would like to change to vortecs. Any thoughts?

Thanks
 
Yes

Yes

I am running a pair -

One on right side near the front, and a second on left side, near the rear.

Check my tank build thread (near page 22 and thereafter) for details.

They are still the only circulation I am using, until I turn on my closed loop later today...

I'm just switching from 3 closed loops on my 450 gallon to Vortechs. I currently have 3 running right now and how 2 more to put in. I definitely like their power.
 
I have a 240Gallon. 4 MP-40s. Three on the left, one on the left. I am running a Master/Slave setup. The vortech on the right side is in anti-sync. I have to get one more, for a total of five.

I am running 6 on my 620 and 1 on my 240 all in reefcrest mode in sync

6 on a 620, I will be running 5 on a 240. A little overkill I guess.

Overkill, I have 4 MP40w on a 120! I have them all throttled back, but it will be good when I upgrade.
 
I get pretty decent water movement with just the 1 on my 240, although I did have 2 at one time. Mainly softies thought. The 6 on my 620 really blows the corals around so good enough for me. the dimensons are 96"x54"by 28" deep

Huskerreef,

How thick is the glass (acrylic?) on your 620?
