Powerhead -- Seio VS. Maxjet

[nycfish]

I just installed a seio 620 to my tank 5 mins ago, I expected more flow than my maxjet 900, 620GPH and 230GPH..??! But the seio doesn't look it has more flow.

It's a wider spread, unlike the MJ.
From what I remember you have a 90 gal....correct?
If so, you'll have to go with a higher rated Seio.
A 620 won't cut it.

Hey DarealDvs1...u r right I have a 90G, I was thinking about the same thing too, Seio has wider spread than MJ. You know when I put my hand into the water, I was like "Tht's it??!"

I should just get the Seio M1500 instead if this one.

Yea. The maxijet flow is a concentrated thin flow at 1 spot whereas the seio will make a wider wave of flow which is gentler on the corals

Think of a coral as a being with its nose, ass and mouth in the same place. The coral eats, shits and breathes while building a massive comunity building with other beings who also need to eat, **** and breathe. They are quite delicate creatures. The whole point of the water flow is to transport oxygen so it can breathe, food so it can eat, and the flow will flush away the crap. So now we have one happy polyp. This being like us prefers a gentle current all around it and not a jet that will make us collapse. Depending on the type of coral and density it will need more or less flow to reach the inner parts of the colony.
