Powerhead Reccomendations
 
Howdy everone,

Well, my dad(wow hes going to participate in costs for the tank lol), has offered to contribute $$$ for new powerheads for the tank. Im debating with going with either 2 Seio 820's or 1 Tunze 6060.

The setup is 75g and these will be the only providers of flow ontop of the MJ-1000 feeding the above tank refugium/sump. The tank dimensions are 48x18x20. It will be fairly open rockwork.

Thanks for any input!

Cheers,

Chris

what type of corals do yo want to keep?

If he's willing to buy get the tunze :mrgreen:

Tunze all the way.

Ohh I've already got corals, mix of LPS, SPS and Softies.

Alrighty. I was thinking about the tunze, but the fact that I could get a more random or unsusual current by using he two seio pumps might be better.

Thanks!

I've got a pair of the seio 620's in my 40g and I love them. Very quiet, wide flow (not pressure washer like), don't generate a lot of heat and lots of different mounting options.

Go
 
I dont know call me crazy but I would go with the 2 820's because with the 2 seios you can direct both in different areas of the tank to take out more dead spots. I have 2 1100's on my 95 gal and love it.

Looks like an even match haha!

Im sure my dad would prefer I went with the Seio's as they are cheaper and I like the fact I can get more random currents. Hmm.

I think I just may go with the seios, hehe.

Still going to give it a few days however!

Again, thanks everyone!

Got for a pair of Seio m2600 :eek:

I think they are around $80USD each which isn't bad considering the flow you get (2600GPH).

They are large and pretty power hungry though :sad:

I've got 2 820's and a 620 in my 77

On one hand

I still havn't spent as much as the Tunze would cost :cool:

On the other;

I'm running out of space to put the powerheads... and am seriously thinking replacing the 620 with a 6100 + controller

:question:
