The Vortech is the better choice of the two. We're talking about 1,453 gph vs. 3,000 gph, unless you're refering to the new Stream 2 that's not on the market yet.

If you decide to go with the Tunze, don't buy the single controller to operate it/them, because you can't set it for wave action.

the vortech works very well in conjunction with a nano stream or 2 IME

I think he means the Tunze Nano Wavebox 6206 that is out since he's explicity stating for a wave maker. I just found out about them last week and don't know anybody that has them yet or even seen a thread about them here.

I had the daddy wavebox with a vortech mp40w on my 120 and they worked well in conjunction. I just downgraded to a 58g and I think the wavebox is way too much of an eyesore in a tank this small. Maybe the nano wavebox won't be so bad. Although I think it's cool that the vortech works as a wavemaker I think it serves better for flow on reefcrest mode or yellow. JMO

I was going to buy another MP40w for my 120 because I felt I lacked flow for sps everywhere in my tank. There were some areas where flow was adequate. I guess it depends on how your rocks disrupt flow and what you are trying to fill your tank with. Now that I'm on a 58g my mp40 is legit.

Do 2 mp40'S, they can sync with one another to creat wave patterns. I am going to get 2 for my 72 bow.

so do you guys feel wave motion or alternating current is better? I was thinking of getting 2 mp40s or 4 mp20s for my 36x36x24. What do you guys think?

or would tunzes be better (in a similar pattern of course)?
