Mine has started separating for no apparent reason if in any other mode than the constant stream (I'm not the only one, based on forum posts I've read...). The flow is outstanding, plenty of it, nice and widespread, almost gentle for as strong as it is. Takes very little space in the aquarium (I have the MP40w), though the trade off is the chunk on the outside of the tank. I do really love it, aside from only being able to run it in one mode (need to send it in), but I think they definitely have to improve on their product before I'd buy another, much less a brand new model. Were I to upgrade to a bigger tank soon, I'd likely go with controllable Tunze streams and an AquaSurf for my AC3. Nice, but I’d not consider to buy another Vortech until they work out some kinks.
