For movement on your return water, I read some posts on Reef Central of peopel using automatic lawn sprinkler heads and even regular water sprinklers. I know that for the automatic sprinkler head you have to look for ones that don't have metal parts inside them or they must have stainless steel. The regular sprinkler people have used is one of those cheapy yellow plastic ones with 3 separate heads that spin around. Several adaptations to these ideas as well. You could also put your return pump(s) on a wave maker.
Hope that helps. I would love to have a couple sea swirls as well, but too much money for me.

For a limited time, I can get you TWO new 1/2 Sea Swirls for $210 w/ full warranty.
You can try to get scratch and dent 3/4 SEa Swirls from the manufacture themself for $140 each.

Why don't you use regular PVC or Kent Locline for your return and compliment it w/ a center model Wave 2K for $250. I would like to get the center model Wave 2K, but I have a brace on my 80 gallon tall.

Joshua can get you the same deal also if you want he is closer. I'd be happy to get them for the group though.

I don't see why not if you can find all the parts.
