powerhead advice

[DrBDC]

I mounted my seio's on a mag float, the 2X3 inch ones (I think that's the measurement) and it makes it a lot easier to get them out vs. those suction cups. Also the stock mount is pretty large. Don't run them on a wavemaker though. My little 620's had a hard time restarting. My 1500's only will occationally as they get dirtier but it's still not a good idea. Anytime the power goes off or if you turn them off make sure you check that they are flowing again.

I don't think that the Seio's would be good on a wave maker. The tunze are great on a wave maker.

Anyone who runs tunzes is on the poor side.

I was't saying I ran mine on a wavemaker, just anytime I'd have to restart the little 620's they wouldn't w/o raising them to the top of the water, letting them spin up and slowly lowering them back in. I have those guys in the fuge now.

Don't get me wrong I like my Seio, It's just when they turm off they don't want to turn back on some times. I hug my Seio before I go to bed every night.

If you want that water movement like the powersweeps, you could run a closed loop (or the return from your sump) witha SCWD. I have one and love its effect.

Tunzes Rock, they are expensive, but then never the less you do not have to worry about what else you need to do for flow.
