    How much bigger? if you get the korallia 4 channel controller, take 1400gph x 4. that is max with 1 K controller. You could always add more. From what I see, if you go very large, you need 1 tunze controller per 2 tunze streams. While they make big power tunzes, they get large and ugly.

    Vortechs are a nice option as well, now that they have the bugs worked out on them after a couple of years.

    depends on which house we purchase.. either the 300g marineland but more preferably a 96" tank.. i think i have decided to go with the vortech mp40.... and if i do upgrade tanks later.. then can purchase another...

    by the time I buy the tunze's.. and the controller... etc.. i will be up in that same price.. I get a really good deal on vortechs through our local club..

    I would probably go the vortech route as well.

    On my 193g, I will do something a little less $$. I know the 150 dollar seio controller works on maxijet modded pumps that do like 2100gph each. But I might jsut get 2 Korallia 4s, run my k3 as well, and us the SCWD I ahve ion the 90g for its return pump.

    I will see how much wave action that makes, and go from there.
