personaly I would keep the maxijets on the wave master pro and add two of the Seios. the wave master would give the random break up for the current the Seio's make.

Any long-term Seio users here yet? Prolly not yet, huh...

Just wondering about the reports on RC about ceramic shaft and bearing issues in hard water, or something to that effect. Sounds like they might require a little more maintenance than a person might be prepared to offer them... 'specially if they drip a lot of kalk.

I like Steve's idea for your tank, though. Break up that nice gentle flow some!

You can't run the SEIO off of the wavemaker?

If I had the 6 pumps, I would put 1 Maxijet in each corner blowing downward and toward the opposite corner and the 2 seios midway down the back corner blowing towards the opposite corner.

You're right, that's a lot of PH's in that tank... If it was mine, I'd use the 2 Seio's at the ends pointing toward each other, and 2 MJ's to add some more chaotic flow. You get to play around until you like the patterns.

well there is no berring in them, and for all purposes they are constructed in the same mannor as a mag drive or a tunze. seramic magnet in a ceramic housing and a air gap around. (took mine apart to see )
