Thanks for the advice. I did pickup a carbide blade for the circular saw and with guides it does a great job!

Anyways, I've been pretty busy many things...the tank being one of them thankfully.

A lot of updates all at once:

Glad my advice helped out. Until someone told me, I didn't even know my circular saw came with an edge guard!

And a great job so far, I like the return manifold, identical to mine but with 5 loclines instead of 7, my tank is 6 feet.

Looks great

I'd estimate that after losses maybe 1000 of ther 1500 gph are making it into the tank. So at the nozzles, you can't really feel too much pressure.

Should i toss a couple seios in there? would people recommend the tunze looking ones or the ones closer to powerheads?

Brett

I personally would go for Tunze's if I had the cash. The SEIOs are a good bargain, but the larger capacity ones get pretty big.

The Tunze fellow at RC is always telling people with tanks 55 gallons or less to not get one. I orig. wanted one...

Would 2 x Seio 620 be effective?

Is that one smaller in size than the 820?

Brett

As well...I see some Seio's looking like wave boxes and some with the round turnine look. Which is which?

They are both the same, you just take off the guard at the bottom and it looks like a Tunze.

I think the 620 is smaller than the 820. Not 100% sure of that though.

I believe the 620 is slightly smaller but they are way under powered. (especially in a 4 foot tank) You would be much happier with the 820s or 1100s.

I'm back from the dead!

I haven't been slackin' honest. Here's my progress to date!

I should make each update a seperate page to fix the load time I know...
