I have two 1680gph tunze and two 820 seio's in my 3 foot long 90 gal and I can't feel a hard current anywhere.. depending on the price I would replace my 820's with the 1500's in a heart beat.

So your saying you have 5000 gph worth of powerheads in your 90 and no hard current anywhere?

That might be fine in your glass bottom set up, but what if you put some substrate in there?

Sorry, but I have a hard time beliving that turning over the amount of just about the whole contents of the tank every minute does not produce a hard current.
nope I am saying I have 6800gph flow in a 90 and just a gentle current through out the tank. I had almost the same flow in my 90 when the sad was in there but it was concentrated in the top 1/2 and then did make some massive flow that still wasn't to bad. I would not go back to a sand bed if you paid me now.
