Sea Swirls

[lostcreekreefer]

I'm just going to throw this out here...I know Charlie has (likes?) Sea Swirls, right? How many do you have on your 300? Anybody else have them, like them, detest them, have ideas & pointers? I'm looking to do some tweaking of my system; I have set up a temporary/quarantine tank, a 40 gal w/ a 10 gal sump, but the return is through a single tube Sea Swirl. It is very interesting to see how much this oscillating return really stirs up the water and how it varies throughout the tank over the cycle. Just curious about these things, what kind of return pumps to use, any options to get on them or better pieces of similar equipment. we are talking about a 270 gallon acrylic tank, what sort of configurations might work? I'm going to put this out in the filtration threads also for the larger audience!

I have 4 3/4" on the 300. I can talk to you more in detail if you make it up tonite Kevin, how's that sound? I gotta go back to work now.........

I've thought about a couple 1/2" seaswirls on our 40, if I ever put a sump under it.

I'm also considering a couple 3/4" seaswirls on our up and coming 200.

I've yet to own or use them, but have heard many great things about them.
