as of now there is no way to control the vortechs for different flow rates other than manual adjustment. the motor being on the outside of the tank is only nice if it is not on a viewing pane of the tank. both mine are at the one end that is not viewed through. alot of good points and input on this thread, it boils down to what toys you want to play with and what type of gadgets you want to use i guess. for control the tunzes win hands down until they come out with the controls for the vortech. in my opinion the vortechs should not have been released until the additional controllers were available such as the wave controller and what not. they also claim they have a main controller that will wirelessly run 10 pumps but has anyone seen them?

I've got about 3" between the one end of the tank and the wall so I will have room to attach the Vortech.
Thanks for all the posts. I agree with Colin-lots of good info on this thread as well as some of the others. In my particular case I wanted to address the fact that I didn't want the two pumps opposite of each other on the long axis since one was a viewing pane. It sounds like I can't go too far wrong either way but the Tunzes look to be the more developed product. Albert_dao has posted a video showing a couple of Vortechs on the controller in development and it looked impressive, but I haven't seen any info on when it might be available. As for the wavemaker- I'm looking at that option as well. Since my tank is still cycling, at this stage I'm just looking to get started with more flow now with a pump that I will be happy with 6-12 months down the road.
