Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out how to get flow in my new tank. It has one-inch acrylic all the way around. I can use Tunze powerheads, but then I have to fiddle with their finnicky, sketchy bracket mounts. They also make a magnetic mount, but it was designed for 3/4". I've tried it and it's indeed not very strong... but it might work. Sketchy again.
The Vortechs are only for 3/4". They claim they'll make a 1", but so far they're tracking late on all of their other, higher-priority engineering projects. I'm wary of waiting for vaporware.
My tank's not drilled for a closed loop and I'd like to avoid one.
Am I just out of options? Anyone solved this any other way?
Ben
