    I currently have the "Natural Wave Timer" with 2 modded Maxi-jets. Its an okay setup, but dont like the "direct" flow of the Maxi-jets, even with the mods I have done to them. I also do not care for the look/size of them much.

    I am considering either the Vortech MP20 (when it comes out), or the Hydor 2-way wave maker with Koralia 2's.

    I am leaning towards the Vortech, but am concerned how my overflow will react to the more natural wave motion of the water. I also do not know if I want my water level going up and down as drastically as the videos I see of the vortechs on youtube.

    If you were going to chose one or the other, which would it be?

    Me myself would go with the vortech,maybe because i have one :) They don't make huge waves if you have them not to close to the top.Also they are so adjustable,i luv mine.My sps lps and softies are all very happy,mind you i have only a 4 foot tank,seems perfect for me.
