    Well I ordered 2x Vortech MP40w ES last night.  I'm currently running 4x Koralia 2 (260-680 gph each) on Deluxe Koralia Wavemaker, 4x Koralia Evo 1400s (1400 gph each) on Red Sea Pro Wavemaker.  I also run an OceanRunner 1800 (1800 gph) on a closed loop.  Should the 2 Vortechs (1000-3200 gph each) be adequate to replace the 8 Koralias in a 125g SPS dominant reef?  Dimensions are 46 long x 22 wide x 28.5 tall.

    yes. for sure.

    However you may find a few dead spots. The Koralia's may be your answer for those areas.

    Sounds good. The 8 Koralias packed in there became quite an eye sore, I'm excited to get these bad boys up and running. I've never seen them in person but the Vortech videos I've seen on Youtube are quite impressive.

    I just got them hooked up a little while ago... and all I can say is WOW. I didn't realize that two powerheads could make that kind of wave motion. I'm very impressed so far...
