Default what would you recommend seio 620 or seio 820

just wondering what size of seio`s you would put on an oceanic 58 gallon. trying to decide betwwen 620`s or 820`s. want to be able to keep softies,stonies and clams. tank dimensions are = L 36.5" x W 18.5" x H 21.5"
any ideas are welcome.

I think for a tank size like that... the 820's. Considering I use two Seio 620's in a 20 gallon tank.. and it's pretty decent. I know I could add more water movement.. just have no room!

I say go with the 820's, especially if your wanting to keep the SPS corals. JMO.

I have a 1500 in my 44 cube but am going to replace it with one of the new Vortec (sp) powerheads when they come out.
So I guess my point is if it were me I would go with the bigger powerhead.

Not to hijack, but are those pumps supposed to come out soon? If so, hold off.. buy some cheapy powerheads and try these new ones out. I think they are going to be prrrrreeettyyyy snazzy.

I've got one 1100 in my 37cube, and I actually want to add a 620 as well to eliminate dead spots.

Ditto that. You might even want to try 1100 or something.

What are these new powerheads you guys are talking about?
