Flow Question for 120g

[snslarison]

I am going to be setting up a 120 soon, here is my plan for flow so far...

Ehiem 1262 for return plumbed into two 1/2" sea swirls.

How would you supplement this? I'm thinking of either two Seio 820s, one Seio 1100 or two/ three maxi jet 1200s on wave maker.

Please give me your suggestions.

Thanks,

Scott

i say go with a Vortec pump.

I would if it wasnt for the hefty 345.00 price tag

I have (2) 1500 Seio Powerheads and a Maxijett 1200 in my 120g. For a return, I use a Mag 9.5.

The Seio powerheads are not compatible with wave making devices as they will make a lot of noise when they start. Much more so than with Maxi-Jets on a wave maker. I have a 120 with Mag18 return pump, a Ehiem ProII that I use for a chiller/UV pump and has nothing but carbon in it, and four Maxi-Jet 1200 on a Wavemaker Pro. Everything in the tank appears to be happy with that.

It would be helpful to know what kind of corals do you plan to keep in the new tank? If your doing SPS then you would want to plan for more flow then a soft coral tank.
I would consider some sort of closed loop system to help keep the clutter out of the main tank.
