    anyone know of any way to do a return system to replace the powerheads in my reef i currently have a tunze that does i belive 2200 gph and 1 seio that does 1100gph they take up a lot of room and the tunze is pretty strong flow for something that advertizes gentle currents i have it in the back blowing along the back wall anywhere else and it causes a dust storm or blows stuff over and it doesnt have a control for speed any ideas or suggestions?

    I have a Magdrive 18 pump that pushes 1800gph to a couple of loc-line sprayers and it works for me. I have no need for more pumps inside the tank.

    this is what I mean by loc-line, but instead of the circle form, straighten it out. [​IMG]

    They are very flexible and each [​IMG] section can be point anywhere you want at any direction.
