What do you think about using the SEIO M620 for circlulation in an aquapod 24? (This is for a reef with acro)

looks like it would provide great flow.

right, thats what i was thinking, but do you think it would be too much.
The thing about SEIO is that it moves much more water, but over a much larger area, so delicate corals wouldnt be hurt.
My main worry with a SEIO is that my bubble coral and zoas wouldnt be able to handle the current
Also, i was worried that it may just blow the water clear out of the side wall of the tank

I use the seio620 in my tank and believe it or not, the only draw back is the size of it and the mounting bracket. If you can handle the bulk of it, grea pump... Only thing i noticed at first is the micro bubbles it produced at first too, but they seem to be fading. The jet from it is not powerful like you think. You know how a maxijet gives a lot of flow. This pump spreads the flow out ALOT! It feels like a maxijet 1200, which has 1/2 the flow of the seio.
