I have a Tunze 6100 on a controller for my 72g...there is no comparison
 More money, but if you count the seio and four maxijets that I had before...

I gotta agree.... 6100 or bust... might seem like overkill, but you can dial it down, and you always have headroom... ONE will be PLENTY for your 72... and they're SO adjustable...

I have a 70g, and I started w/ 2 seio820's and the sump return (~1200gph) I took one of the seios out and sold it because it was truly too much flow. In the "jet" config, they have a lot of throw in a 4' tank.
As far as which brand, I've only used Sieo and I love it.

Well, I don't have a large system like all you folks
 But, I do have a Seio and I really like the flow patterns it gives off... very wide range and just not like your average powerhead at all. Also, as mentioned.. extremely versatile in terms of mounting. A bang for your buck IMO.

Hey Everyone!
Thanks for the opinions! Unforunately the Tunze im looking at is the one without the controller with just a straight 1600 gph flow. Im thinking I may just go with the Seio 820's but it was suggested I get a larger seio model? I dont know who carries any Seio powerheads in Canada besides J&L? I might go with I think its the 1100 and an 820 or whatever the next size up was? Thanks for the input! Cheers, Chris

I'd go with the two seio 820s. Like it was said before, it'd give you more flexibility in terms of directing water movement and reducing dead spots. I had a 620 and an 820 plus ~600gph from the sump on my old 30g half cube and I found that flow was about right (BB mixed reef tank)... if I did it again, I'd probably replace that 620 with an 820.
If you are heading down to Calgary, check out Golds for their seios. They are priced like J&L (or cheaper?). -Rich

Just a return to this thread...
It looks like I will be getting a pair of Seio 1100's. I also have about 100gph from my refugium(yeah, not much) and im wondering if this will be too much flow in the tank from the two 1100's? Thank-you very much! Chris
