PH Brand?
I know that Hydro's and maxi-jet's are the preferred brands but has anyone had bad experiences with Seio's. The LFS's around here do not have MJ or hydro's so any experience's with Seio's?

There are good and bad reviews of the Seio pumps. I guess they seem okay in reliability on average, and do produce good flow.

seios are good pumps, the only prob ive ever had with them are every now and again they just stop, then you have to just touch the impeller and they start again,i just got the koralias and they are great too, if your lfs doesnt have them order them online

Nothing better than a Tunze, imo.

Tunze all the way
 (and I used to use Seios). The pump its self is not bad, they're just big, and the suction cups suck (and by that I mean they don't suck and end up blasting a hole through your bubble when the powerhead falls).

Yes I know the tunze rock but this is just temporary till I can get my closed loop pump quited down. I have everything for it but the panworld is noisy and am trying to quite it down.
