lanman July 14, 2007 Share July 14, 2007 Looking for affordable powerhead suggestions for my 75 gallon that will be eventually be connected to a wave maker. Also want strong enough flow to keep a variety of corals Seio 1100 (or two if you want a LOT of flow). bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanman July 14, 2007 Share July 14, 2007 one mjmod :-) Tried an mj-12 modkit in my 58 (36") - and it has too much velocity. The Seio moves the same amount of water - but spreads it out a little, and randomizes it somewhat. Between that and the Wavyseas with a MAG-7, I still get a little bit of sand movement over time, but nothing like the modkit. I'd say absolute minimum 4-foot tank for the mj-12 modkit; and even then you might move a little sand at the other end. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjames1300r July 14, 2007 Share July 14, 2007 Try a Hydor Koralia. I had two Seio 1100s and went to the Koralias. I like them much better. They look better and have even a more spread out flow than the seios. They use way less energy that the maxijets and they even come with their own magnet mounts.

jamesbuf July 14, 2007 Share July 14, 2007 One Koralia 4. Bigalsonline.com has them for just $49 right now. Look in the group buy section for the GB ending tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal July 14, 2007 Share July 14, 2007 I have two Koralia 4s in my 75g mounted on opposite ends of the tank. They might work on a wavemaker but expect some clatter as they start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your wavemaker have a "soft-start" ? I'm hoping that the Koralia will do well on the softstart on my aquacontroller. I know several people who use the wavemaker to turn the Koralia off at night to simulate calmer waters at nighttime, but I'm wondering how they will hold up to turning them off an on a couple dozen times a day.

YBeNormal July 14, 2007 Share July 14, 2007 I don't have mine on a wavemaker. I do know that they often clatter when they first come on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Undercoverdork July 15, 2007 Share July 15, 2007 You should look into Tunze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Junkie July 16, 2007 Author Share July 16, 2007 Well I decided what to do after seeing a incredible tank today ! He was using and very happy with the performance from modded MJ's over Tunze's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigJPDC July 16, 2007 Share July 16, 2007 Is this tank set up already? Drilled? Do you have a sump? Is 'a variety of corals' a few SPS, with LPS and zoas sprinkled around? How about an eductor on your return plumbing and a closed loop and SeaSwirls = no powerheads? jp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
