Which Wavebox? (Or Vortech)

MY nano rocks my 48' 72 gallon.
I'm getting a 95 (48X18X24) this weekend and don't expect it to do any less of a fantastic job...

That was something else that crossed my mind.

I think I am starting to wonder though if I want a big black box in my tank In most tanks you can hide them quite easily in a back corner. But my tank does not have a back corner. Its viewable from actually all 4 sides. The side I say is against a wall is actually not against a wall but faces a little alcove in the wall where my ATO and some equipment is.

Even if I re-aquascaped and moved the big cap or sold it, I can't put the wavebox on that end of the tank because it will interfere with my overflow. Hard to explain but I have looked into it and it will not work.

So...I have to keep most of the flow coming from the one side of the tank which mean powerheads kind of suck. I don't want continuous flow. The best reef tanks you see around have much more random and back and forth flow, which you really only get from a wavebox or closed loop with some kind of wavemaker. Or I guess controllable powerheads. I am just not convinced that any powerhead is going to give me the flow I want down the entire tank.
