the 620 wont make much of a dent in a 62, you should at least consider a 800 or 1100.

I own a seio 820. It gives a much more wider flow than a max 1200. I also have a 1200 in my tank and it has a more direct flow where as the seio is more disbursed. I like the seio for that reason.

way better than a 1200, 3X the flow in a more dispersed area.

so a 620 will blow fine then where i haver a huge frogspawn and a hammer corla along with a bubble coral in there with star polyops mostly lps in the tank as you can see. I have a 3md with one return plumbed from the basement and pushing out around 4-500 gph on the left and i have a 1200 on the other i would like to have a more of a gentle roll in the tank to counter balance the 3md.

I use 2 820's in a 70G Plus the sump return, lots of flow :D

seriously the 620 is pretty useless, you will regret not getting a larger pump.

I agree with Willow. If your tank is 4 feet long I would go with the 820 for starters.

oops

just realized your tank dims.

I'd still try a 820 though. You can tone down the flow as well.
