I’ve had my two Vortechs for a couple of months now. I really like the flow that they put out. I’m looking for any comments on how to get the most out of them.

My tank dimensions are 60X29X24. It is 180 gallons with mostly SPS and a few LPS and Softies.

I currently have them on opposite ends of the tank in Master/Slave Antisync Reef Crest mode. The speed is about 2/3.
Here is a shot of the tank with Vortech placement and aquascape.

I just got my 2nd VorTech today,& was asking the same ? here.I got some replys.

I set mine up like this today,& like it the best so far.

1 master on Reef Crest Random,& the 2nd in Pulse speed.

I fortunately got lucky,& both are super quiet on Pulse i tried um both there at first.

I think that the fact that my tank is only 3/8" thick rather that 1/2" like a 180,or 210.

Here is the link from my thread today.

How do you have them positioned?

I also have a K4 in the back facing the front.
