Choose between Seio or wavemaker MJ1200's

[PRC]

I now have six Seio 620's in my 220G and I would highly recommend them. I had trouble with one of them initially but I think it was assembled wrong. I took it apart, cleaned it and reassembled it and it's worked fine ever since. I have no experience with MJ's so I can't help there. I personally think that wavemakers are highly overrated so the lack of that option for the Seio's doesn't really bother me.

Whats the MJ nozzle mod?

You just cut the nozzle off. It makes a wider flow. There is a thread in the DIY forum.

I have 2 seio 1500's in a mixed 3 ft long 70 gallon tank with ssb and I love the flow. I did have 2 620's which are now in my sump. All have done great.

Still by the time you buy the MJ, order the parts for the mod and shipping, you are paying more for a pump that will at max with the mod push 400gph (thats being generous), than getting a seio from MARINE DEPOT...They are on sale, pull it out of the box and plug it in and it will outperform the MJ with the mod.

Do as you like, but seems like a waste of time considering your end outcome is flow.

I suggest the RIO 1500 and 2 mj's on a wavemaker. That is what I did on my 58g

Reading all of the replies I think I will go with two 820's. Would this be enough? Most of the coral I intend to keep are LPS and softies, all the hardy stuff. So two 820's would not be to much flow right?

I really don't think you'll be happy with 820's. I'd do 1500's. I have anthelia very close to my 1500's and that's about as soft as a coral gets without being complete mush. The whole concept of flow numbers goes out the window when the flow is so widely distributed.

I never considered that thanks for the advice. So two 1500's should be good?
