jetstream or twin-flow?

[jbirdy]

I am buying a new 55 gal aquarium. I definitely want a predrilled tank.
It seems the twin-flow takes up so much aquarium space, but the jetstream seems prone to clogging.
Any pros or cons?
Should I get the marineland jetstream or the All-Glass twin-Flow.

I was in the same shoes with you while ago. After my research and understanding the importance of overflow box purpose. I believe that overflow box is to prevent such as to-be-emptied if leakage should happen. I am somewhat fear to own a Jetstream overflow design because when anything happen to the bottom and you say "Good Bye" to your tank! Therefore I think by having overflow box is the very best bet for preventive in pro-ways.
By the way Twin-flow's GPH intake runs around 600 GPH and it can be modified by cutting the sleeve lower to increase GPH intake. Also modify the bulkhead size.
That's my opinion.

We have a 75 gallon jet stream tank and we really like it. It has never clogged up on us. About once a month you have to clean the top of the down take which is no big deal but we have never had any problems with it.

WHAT IS A JETSTREAM OVERFLOW?

 

[jbirdy]

The Jetstream is a tank with two stand-pipes predrilled on either side of the tank. One for outflow one for inflow
