Depending on what you want to spend....Tunze, Vortecs, or Seios for major water movement....

hey acrylic i found the Seios 2600 gph for like 80 bucks is that a good enough quality do you think b/c all of the other ones that i was looking at were like 150+ also anyone else who has a Seios powerhead tell me what you think of them! :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish

 

[acrylic51]

Seios are fine alittle on the bulky side though, but work very nicely!!!!!

 

[superhero]

do u think that 2600 gph is too much for a 150?? :help: :help: Or, should i move down to a 1500 gph!?!?!

If you're not looking for a massive amount of flow, I'd suggest a powersweep. They require more maintenance but the rotating nozzle is perfect for breaking the waters surface.....or any other area for that matter.

powersweeps in a 150 would do pretty much nothing, the highest GPH they sell is like 250, plus they ALWYAS have to be cleaned to keep them working, IMO go Seio, or Tunze

 

[superhero]

so do u think 2600 gph in my 150 is a good amount or should i bring it down a little bit? :happyfish :happyfish :jumping: :jumping:

 

[fedukeford]

,abey do 2 1500's instead of 1 2600

 

[sign guy]

what all fish and coral is in your 150

up to DIY's??? look up maxijet stream mod. im going to try and make 2 of them. there estimated 1500gph out of a MJ900 and 2000gph for a MJ1200. only thing is that it work good for some and not so good for others, but that all depends on the builder. i mean it is a DIY...
