water flow ???

JESTER1967 · 12/11/2006, 01:32 AM

I was thinking of upgrading my pumps in my 75 clear for life tank to get better flow for my reef. Any recommendations? I was thinking about going with two Seio 820's, is this over kill? Should I set them up at each end of the tank like my current pumps?

Thanks,

Daniel

the 820's do not have a powerful stream, they have a broad spray stream. what pumps are you using now?

one is a rio 90 and the other not sure of brand but model 226

well it sounds like two 820's will have a pretty good increase over what you have now but this will be a much better flow for your tank. put one on each side of your tank probably about 4"-8" from each side would work well

Do you have a better recommendation of pump? Maxi jet ? And when you say
