Water movment questions?

[bwayne315]

I have a 140 gal cube with a mag12 for a circulation pump, and a few powerheads. I am thinking of adding a couple of the Sieo 820 pumps.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Seios are not that safety. DonÃ"šÃ‚´t know now but they used to burn very easily.
Have you heard of Tunze Stream Turbelle?
Low wattage consume, powerfull, etc..

Yes, I know that the Tunze are very nice, but I don't have another $200 to spend on my tank right now. I was looking for something a little cheaper. I have heard of some people using the Seio powerheads.

I have heard good things mostly about SEIOs

The SEIOs appear to be much different then the other rio pumps. They are decent, but have a tendancy to not start up after a power outage if you dont clean them. This really isnt a big deal in your case, the Mag will start and that would provide enough until you realize any potential problems...

Obviously the tunze streams are prefered, but seios seem to be a decent alternative.

I have one Seio pump on mine, and while I like the flow from it. When the water changes are done, pumps are turned off and every time the seio is a nightmare with the startup chatter. Scares the hell out of the fish.
