Looking for opinions/facts. What produces more total flow? VorTech or 2 MJ1200 mods?
Facts are good but not easy to come by with this regard. What do you guys think produces more total flow? 1 VorTech wide open or 2 MJ 1200 mods. I know there are variables regarding the MJmods (like prop size). Stick with the basic mod. And what ever happened to the Oceanflo mods anyways???

Definitely two MJMods. Our local club, COMAS, had a demonstration with side by side looks at the Vortech, Tunze, Seio, MJMod, and a regular MJ. The Tunze was a close second to MJMod, and their special features could put the favorability towards the Tunze. The Vortech did beat a single MJMod, but not by much. Two MJMods would blow a vortech out of the water. Here are some video clips and pictures...
The Setup   Videos (from lowest to highest flow) MJ1200  Seio  Tunze  MJMod  VorTech  Sample shots of a MJMod and a Mag9.5 return in my in-the-works 75g tank. Without MJMod  With MJMod (0:00-0:18 seconds; the rest is just viewing the tank. Warning: Big file at 1:08 minutes.)

It was good, but everyone who brought up pumps are still finding glitter in their tank back from October 2006.

I just put 2 MJ modded 1200's into my 70g DT last night!!!
UNBELIEVABLE....... I had sand, water and inverts flying around everywhere!!!!!! It produced soo much flow that the tank was spilling water due to the enormous typhoon waves that were being created. At this point i'm willing to trade them for 2 Seio 820's............ TOO MUCH FLOW>>>>>>>>>>>>>
