Vortech or Tunze Nano wavebox?

tufacody · 06/10/2009, 08:46 PM

I am currently keeping a gigantea in a 70 gallon tech tank. Right now there is a Korallia 4, and Korallia 1, and an eheim powerhead in there. I'd like to recreate better surge conditions for it. Obviously powerheads are always a risk, but its one that most nem keepers take to some degree. Which one might suit the gigantea the best in terms of flow/surge? Nano or Vortech?

Nobody has an opinion on this for me?

I'd say Vortech, Im using 2 in a 90 g right now and the flow is insane. The come with a foam guard if your worried about anemone soup.

Power heads are for flow..... wave boxes are for waves

The MP40w's. If your going to replace your other pumps 2 of the vortechs would give you tonnes of wide flow. If its an addon you could be fine with just 1.

I think the vortechs for sure are a better option im setting a upa 60 cube for a haddoni right now with the intent of using a vortech i was also considering the wavebox.
