Default Powerhead Reccomendations

Howdy everone,

Well, my dad(wow hes going to participate in costs for the tank lol), has offered to contribute $$$ for new powerheads for the tank. Im debating with going with either 2 Seio 820's or 1 Tunze 6060.

The setup is 75g and these will be the only providers of flow ontop of the MJ-1000 feeding the above tank refugium/sump. The tank dimensions are 48x18x20. It will be fairly open rockwork.

Thanks for any input!

Cheers,

Chris

Ohh I've already got corals, mix of LPS, SPS and Softies.

Alrighty. I was thinking about the tunze, but the fact that I could get a more random or unsusual current by using he two seio pumps might be better.

Thanks!

Chris

I've got a pair of the seio 620's in my 40g and I love them. Very quiet, wide flow (not pressure washer like), don't generate a lot of heat and lots of different mounting options.

I dont know call me crazy but I would go with the 2 820's because with the 2 seios you can direct both in different areas of the tank to take out more dead spots. I have 2 1100's on my 95 gal and love it.

Looks like an even match haha!

Im sure my dad would prefer I went with the Seio's as they are cheaper and I like the fact I can get more random currents. Hmm.

I think I just may go with the seios, hehe.

Still going to give it a few days however!

Again, thanks everyone!

Chris

Got for a pair of Seio m2600

I think they are around $80USD each which isn't bad considering the flow you get (2600GPH).

They are large and pretty power hungry though

I've got 2 820's and a 620 in my 77

On one hand

I still havn't spent as much as the Tunze would cost

On the other;

I'm running out of space to put the powerheads... and am seriously thinking replacing the 620 with a 6100 + controller
