Is the any downside to them aside from the somewhat terrifying cost. I was concidering going closed loop as
A) I don't really like the look of loads of powerheads and cable for said powerhead scattered around tank.
B) If i can manage to keep my tank stable for 6-12 months I quite fancied gettin an anemone of some kind and given my luck it would walk straight into a powerhead.
Now i kinda figured that for the closed loop i would require 2 eheim pumps at £200 and then either a Ocean motion unit or 2-3 scwd's which would run to another £100 plus pumping which is now easily getting towards cost of vortech plus unless i drilled i would have pipes visible. Plus i figure I could build an egg crate cage for the vortech if i introduced an anemone till it settled as it's only a single point to cover.
Anyone fancy talking me into or out of buying one ?
