Don't think of it as a powerhead, it is much more like the wavebox, which is actually MORE expensive. That being said... It is CRAZY expensive! The down side is that everything in the hobby is crazy expensive!

Pretty close Chris, I can get a 1" wave going in my 90 with just a single pump. Now with a wave box I am sure I could get a larger wave, but that box is HUGE compared to the "wet side" of the Vortech.
Eco Tech describes an undertow on the box as well, and this is REAL! When I feed frozen, the mysis almost FLY along the bottom of the tank, and then back up to the pump. This too is quite impressive.
The pump is expensive, I will not argue that, but it also has some very cool features that normally would take either more tank space, or multiple pumps to accomplish. The flow is very wide as well, this makes for fewer sand storms, and more coverage then a single stream power head would.
If my tank were drilled in the center back, I would add another, and get a really good wave going with 2 Vortechs!
Rev, let's do a group buy on Vortechs!!
I'd probably start out with one and see if it was able to do what I wanted it to do. Just to confirm, you can get that one inch wave with just the pump or do you need to buy some sort of controller to get the pulsing to get the wave?
