Paul, I have a small tupperware container on top of my tank that I grow blackworms in. They multiply nicely, I just pour out and replace the RODI water 1x week and crumble up fish food, or coral food, or even throw in a small bit of bread or cardboard 1x week. Small operation, but I'm only...
Like the BB look but hate that during the odd diatom outbreak they practically glue themselves to the bottom glass, creating a gunky brown slimy look.
With the sand I can gently circulate with a turkey baster and the sand turns over.
If the tank is pristine, I do like the BB, but more oft than...
Just ordered a Tunze 6040.
Based on reviews they have slightly less power than the Vortechs, but they move a lot more water with a wider flow.
Here's a BRS vid...
They list at $160, but if you do a bit of investigative shopping you can get them new for under $100.

Also agreed. Note in my original post I mentioned how John is a great guy and very helpful.
ACC hosted an NJRC meet, in shop, 2 years previous that was phenomenal. Its still talked about at meets.
ACC hosted a second party last year and sponsored gifts at this year's summer party.
Personally...
Yep. I used to use Mags then after trying Syncs I haven't looked back. The sound of the overflow is 3 times the volume of the pump.
