Seio advice

[etricas]

Hello, I'm upgrading from a 30 gallon fowlr to a 90 gallon reef ready Oceanic and I'm trying to decide on what size Seio's I want to use for water movement. These seem to be the best value out there from my small amount of research but I'm open to suggestions. I'm leaning towards two of the 1500's with the controller. Will this be adequate or too much? Would the 2600's be too much? So far the plan is for a mix of easy to take care of coral specimens with maybe some shrimps and such. Of course fish as well. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

i run a 1100 turned all the way down plus my return is a mag 9.5 that branches into 2 return pipes and each thru a penductor. this creates alot of flow in my tank. (75 gallon).
requires some creative placement for some corals like donuts in my case. but overall im happy with the flow.

dont know if this helps you or not but these things really push water well.

So two 1500's or 2600's would be overkill it sounds like. I've also looked at the Tunze pumps and I've been wondering if I would be better off with one of their pumps with a controller or two Seio's. Same ballpark cost for 1 Tunze vs. 2 Seio's.

I have a 90g perfecto with corner flow with mag 9.5 , 1100 and a 820.
The 1100 will push the sand a little bit. If you angle it down a lot it will move a lot of sand. I have 2-3 inches of sand.
I have to move the sand back every week but the sand stays so cleans where it flows. I have a long cleaning stick i use with shovel attachment.
I still have to mess with the 820s mount to see if i can get it to flow where i want it. Trying to mod the hang on mounts because i don't want to use just suction cups.
