vortech vs tunze nano wavebox

hey guys i need some suggestions. i have a 90 gal lps tank with alot of euphyllia. i bought a vortech mp40w awhile ago and my euphyllia do not like it at all. i have the power turned down below half and ive tried every different setting. the corals all have short pollyp extension. plus with the crazy undertow of the vortech all of the corals seem like they are being blown in the direction of the pump. so to get to my question do you think that a nano wavebox may be better for my situation. i dont like the look of the wave mode on the vortech. its just back and forth really fast but with the wavebox from wat ive seen (and its only been once) it seemed really gentle swaying motion. if anyone has a wavebox let me know how they like it and does the output have to have a clearline to the otherside of the tank? thanks
john
