Been thinking about getting one. Are you happy with it.
BTW, Total thread-jacking here....
It's a used unit I got from member reef46 here (and the tank as well). Been used none stop for about a year so far. But yea, love it. The waves and the swaying of the soft corals is awesome. Not sure if you saw the thread I post the youtube video of, but here's some Xenia in the currents. Very, very realisitc. (The xenia was cleaned out by the puffer as well.) My Blueface forced the Acan to be moved.

The only downside as mentioned is the sand problems. (partially my fault for using near sugar sand (whatever is the grade just up from sugar sand)). Since the rather large motor is hanging off the back of the tank and it's a belt drive, it's not exactly quiet, but not overbearing. About as loud as if you left your sump doors open. Not exactly sure why the panels are loose now. Will take it out and inspect as soon the coraline spreads to other parts of the tank.
The Naso loves it (as seen in the vid), and most of the fish in my previous go around (Blue Jaw Trig esp, H. Tusk, Cuban Hog), did as well.
