They work great for planted tanks. If you have plants that have larger than normal leaves you may need to tend to it to remove them. But, I dont find it being a time bandit.

jazz man is correct.. Either spraybar placement or Lilly type pipes help.
or even a powerhead would get it done.
Powerhead is always a great addition.
Plants love flow and will also increase plant health for the better in your tank by eliminating dead-spots and the like.
