Joe is a great guy think I was paying attention to the sea swirl idea?I think the Vortechs get a bit more noise because the motor is on the outside of the tank. The water and glass insulates that noise on pumps that are inside the tank.
I do appreciate the aesthetic of no wires in the tank, but just haven't been able to justify the expense of the Vortechs yet.
I am starting a new tank, and installing a Gyre, because I like the look of the flow patterns I have seen. That being said, I sat through an excellent talk by the head of the Long Island Aquarium, and he was extolling the value of Sea Swirls, and said he thinks they will come back as people get tired of the newer toys.
I got two of them on my tank as well.
