[HenryTran]

hi,

i want to try these out, does anyone have one for sale. the tank i need it for is 24" long. i'm currently using a rio 600 and wanted to see if this will be better. any suggestions on which model will work best for the tank size will also appreciated. or should i just stick with my rio?

thanks

The 820 will be too much for a 24" tank, IMO.

620 or 820 ???????

Depends on what you want to keep. I have 2 620's in my 36, and its more than enuf flow. I think 2 820 would be too much for me, but you can always get the 820's and restrict them down. keep in mind they will add a little more heat to your tank than the 620's.

good luck, Mike

I got the 620 for my 24" long tank and the flow seems really weak. I thought it was broken and returned it for another one and the same thing happened. So I ended with the 820. You can just turn down the flow.

Cool. Adjustable flow is good news.
I think one 820 would work for me in my 40.

Take off the flow control ring & you will have "full" flow 24/7..............I did & it's one less thing to get clogged on my tank!!
