    How did u like the wp25? If you still want you are free to borrow it for a few hrs and try it in your tank. At least with these you can rotate the head of them and can maybe make one work for ya.

    Thanks, I'll think about it. I like the wp25 for size, but I'm not sure that it will give me the additional flow I need. The wp40 would probably work better - but then I hesitate because of the larger size...... what to do.... what to do......

    I plan on adding another 25 to the other side of my tank. Two of those would be pretty awesome in a 75. I had one in my 75 it was a full tank and I couldnt turn it all the way up. But up to you.

    They are being edited but then the first look goes to the owners of the tanks. If they want to share i'll make sure that everyone gets to see them. Sorry for the delay!

    How big are the pics? I use Irfanview to scale back pics for posting. Works great, just make sub directory and run in a batch. I can resize and u/l 100 pics to Photobucket in less than 5 minutes.

    I actually upload them to flickr so Sara can keep the resolution needed on the originals. And I like it because of the large detail.

    Without delay.
