I'll keep you all posted, I just hated the idea of a Vortech controller rolling around my drawer unused ;-)

I'll look into the ocean motions as well, and the use of eductors on the outlets.
Im control through my profilux, but im sure it would be easy enough to try some other controller. Do you have a controller at all? Or are you looking for a stand alone type deal.

Currently don't have a controller, may go with Profilux in the future (especially if I go with the Mitras). Was thinking of a basic standalone with simple pulse for now as its difficult to stay on budget with my latest build (120"x30"x29")
