Thanks Terry, yes I am planning to use three for now, but it could go to four, I am very undecided.

Aquascape is nice and low...hope you grow out some massive colonies.

And where on earth did you get those cutters?!
well they are preforming pretty well, just ask the sand bed, lol.

in my previous tank, i had 3 vortechs on full gas 24/7

this time around with the open areas of the tank, i turned them to be on sync and anti sync reef crest mode, i have found this way I am still getting the flow I need and the sand is not blowing a storm.

I do think that when I start to stock thing up with coral, I could return the setting to full gas as the flow will be reduced with all the colonies.

and I got the cutters from a green house in the Bowness area about a year ago. Support the cause.

I am sure Doug knows the name of it, as thats his neck of the woods.
