Debating on different flow types

[TimberTDI]

OK so I've been planning my 120 since February. All this time accumulating the parts that I need to set the tank up right the first time. I've pretty much obtained everything, basically have to just build the stand and canopy.

One decision I'm still debating is flow for the tank. The returns are going to be two Ehiem 1262. I'm having a tough time choosing between going with either a 4-way Oceans Motions or with two 3/4" Sea swirls.

Is there an advantage to having oscillating flow of the seaswirls or having a wave like flow of the OM?

If I had to chose between seaswirls and a 4 way, I'd go 4 way. Since you are going with 2 pumps, have you considered 1 4 way and 1 Wavyseas?

If you're gonna spend that kind of cash why not just get a Tunze wavebox?

I think a 120 is too small for a Tunze wavebox.
