I thought the same thing until I saw them working in the most killer looking reef tank 
I had ever seen. I made the same comments that I am hearing in this thread and was 
suprised to hear the
reply. His had been working non stop for three months. The newer power sweeps have a 
different intake that is less likely to clog. He also went into depth on the mechanics 
of the sweep and how it
was more difficult for it to go one way than the other. He used the flap that comes 
with the kit to his advantage. He used it in such a manner that it helped it on the 
weak sweep return. I got my
old abandoned ones out of storage and they have been working ever since. Go figure.

LEAVING THE LIST
================
To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  with a command to remove you from the list.  The list 
manager  controls who belongs to the list.  

For example:
 --------------------------------------------------------------
       From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
         To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    Subject: <not needed>

    UNSUBSCRIBE
 --------------------------------------------------------------
