Default Seio pump

I know that these have been compared to other streams, whether that is a fair comparison is not for me to say. However I just wanted to mention how happy I have been to date (roughly 3 weeks), with the Seio (M620)performance as compared to my maxi jets.

Granted pricing is different, but the feel is wonderful and I have really noticed a huge difference in overall flow and distance covered (Easily covers 4 ft length of my tank). Like most I did remove the adjustable nozzle which apparently also restricts the capacity a little. This is my first experience with a "stream" style of pump, but I really like how I can place it fairly close to corals and not worry about the "jet" of flow hurting my stock. I also noticed that the fish seem to really enjoy getting closer and playing in the stream which they did not do with the jets.

Of course time will tell whether the "Rio factor" will play into longevity of the pump. I also really liked the versatility of all the potential attachments.

I agree with that. I also bought a 620. and am very happy with it. I replaced a Maxijet 900, and a AC 402 with one 620.

Ditto, I purchased them from Jayson at SWC.

Still happy with the pump!

I just got two 820 for my custom 100gal that is 4ft long and I think it is just perfect with the addition of the return pump (1800g/hr).

I think you would be okay with two 820's.

Had it for a day and love it....just wished the cord was longer.

Does anyone bother with the extensive weekly maintenance the instruction say you have to do. I have not yet taken mine out of the tank to do that.
