Hi to all...

I have a 125 mixed reef for several years now and honestly i am very happy with it.

I have a Reef Octopus as my main pump with a Sea Swirl as the return output and for flow in the tank i have 2 Gryres side by side. I like the Sea Swirl as it moves randomly the circulation but it went down and i am looking for alternatives for the return output. By the way it works great and the durability has been 4 years without hickup. Just looking to see if i am outdated or is there someting better out there.

Any suggestions that i can use to replace it and also will like to see pics of you guys configuration with the return output inside tank.

Thanks in advance for all your advise and help.

I'm not aware of anything that does what the Sea Swirl does...the IM Spin Stream does redirect flow but on a much more limited basis. Sea Swirl and Sea Sweep have always an option for me when thinking about my next system and if I had gone with a canopy I'd have one now. My opinion...stick with what works and is reliable and provides a unique flow movement you can't get anywhere else.

Thanks @Quietman ... for sure that is a wise advise. Stick with what have worked.
Actually i was thinking to check the VC Random Flow Generator.
