I want to run it in 20x20x24high tank and maybe a 24x24x16 in the near future. Will one do the job well?

2nd Question:

Will I regret it if I don't get the "W" model?

I'm in no rush to have $600 of powerheads in my less then amazing reef...


Thanks to all for any input!!!!

Cheers

the W is for wireless. you can sync/anti sync multiple vortech "w" pumps if they are all wireless. The sync/anti sync makes the pumps work together or against each other to create bigger waves. Check out some youtube videos to see the pumps in action when running together. If you are only getting one pump then just get the regular es.

you can upgrade and es to a wes via a RF module - vortech sells it themselves on their site though some retailers carry it as well - its about 50-75US

number of pumps is heavily dependent on placement and how much rock you have. if you have very little rock than one pump can effectively move the water around the entire tank. The MP10's are more popular on the 10-30 gallon systems - many run an mp40 or two mp10s on anything bigger.
