Hey Spankey....
Did you get your powerheads yet?
What are your impressions compared to the Seio's?

My question is are they powerful enough to make water flow inside the tank.

I will tell you what, I ordered two model 3's for my tank. I was running two 600 seios.. .I have to trade these to my buddy for something else. Way to much flow in my 46 bowfront... Let me tell ya... They really put out allot of flow..
My model 3's are very small vs the seio.. More streamlined too.
I hear the model 4's though are somewhat big.. But so are the full size tunze's... As long as it works for the price, It could look like a loaf of bread in my tank... That was a joke by the way...LOL

Well I have 75 gallon tank, two maxjet 1200 series. The only problem I have is how much water flow do I need. One person suggest that take your total gallon of your fish tank multiple it by 20, which going to give you the tatol flow you need in your tank. But it seem to me that I don't have enough water flow because I'm see a lot of debris underneath my LR especially in dead spot. Any suggestion on how I can resolved these
Thanx

in last months saltwater aquarium magazine they said your flow depends on what type of corals and that most corals will do well with 10-15 times your tank size and for some species need up towards 50 times...so my guess is that some people just kinda take the inbetween.....i have a 90 gallon and i think i am only going to get a bigger return pump with a koralia 3 or model 4....and it will give me between 13-20 times
if you dont want to get new PH...then you could get the hydor rotating deflector and i think that would help make that water swirl and pick up some of the debris and keep the bed a little cleaner

I agree,
The hydro rotating flow's are great as an add on to the maxijet 1200 or even the 900. Although it cuts the flow about a 1/3 due to the resistance but it will work quite well. I just wish they fit on a larger powerhead than the MJ1200's..... Are there any other powerheads out there that put out more flow than the MJ 1200's that have a round nozzel you can fit the hydor flows on??
I have two of the model 3 koralina's in my 46 bow and it really moves allot of water.. Before the model 3's I had two Seio 620's and it moved water but now that the koralina's are in my hairy mushrooms on the sand bed are blowing around off the bottom.... They kick allot of flow...
I would do two model 3's in a 75 as I am afraid if you did two of the model 4's it might be too much. You can no matter what anyone says, you can have TOO much flow! What most people are looking for is water that moves over their corals and not a flow that blasts the corals....
Just my 2 cents.

how do you know that one place is going to be selling them shortly???
