OK, I am almost positive I am getting a 150g from a friend. He's got it plumbed right now with spraybars with plumbing over the top rim of the tank. I am not sure which way I want to go. OM 4 way, plumbed over the top, or up from bottom, Or a wavebox, or Vortech's??? I really would like to Not have powerheads. My 45g has a closed loop setup above the waterline, pointing down. But thers no random flow. Its all one direction...

Any help in which way I should go, would be greatfull. I wont have alot of time, when I get the tank, as its occupied and have to find temp accomodations for the livestock.

Never used an Ocean Motion myself, but I do have a wavebox and have seen the Vortech in action, I am actually looking at selling the wavebox and going with the Vortech myself as I don't like the amount of space the wavebox takes up, all a matter of personal preference I think, I love the wavebox but it would be nice if it was smaller.

If you decide to go the VorTech route, you will require at least two for a 150 gal.

Check this thread for additional discussion re wavebox, closed loop, VorTech
