Hello,
I got some Seios last week (2x 1100�s for my 90) And just wanted to let everyone know I think they kick ass. If you are scared of buying them like I was ... be ... well, less scared. They are big and ugly but they put off great flow, less heat And use less energy. Ryan I will post pics later this week. ------------- 90Gallon Mixed Reef, 2x250 14k, ASM, 10G fuge, 20G sump, 2x 1100 rio seios. Kaysville, 801.603.6588. |

I have been using two 620's for about 6 months now and haven't had any problems with them. A good alternative to the Tunze pumps, but not nearly the flow. Ryan did you take the face cover off of them and mount them like a Tunze?

I mounted mine like yours Brad. I like it. Great for a little tank where you don't want a closed loop. For a big tank I don't think they would do enough. Adam ------------- Come to a meeting, they�re fun! |

I agree Adam, I would definately want a Tunze for a larger tank, but for my 65g I love the Seio's. I just hope they hold up for a good long time. ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |

I run 2 Seio 1500's in my 150G and they really get the job done. Even if they only last a few years I figure they're still much cheaper than Tunzes....they only cost me 60 bucks. I am also running a closed loop underneath the substrate and a closed loop at the top of the tank, along with the return from my sump and fuge.....but the majority of my current comes from the SEIOS, and so far I am extremely happy with them. ------------- Jim - Houston http://www.marshreef.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=7691 - My 150 Gallon in-wall tank journal |

yeah I have mine mounted like above. They rock.
lots of random current, lots of polyp, not a lot of price. but, If anyone wants to trade me for tunzes PM me.
