seio "streams" who likes them

[Anonymous]

looking at the cost and effectiveness of these vs the tuze's and cant bring myself to shell out the dough... anybody like there seio's and has any body had any major problems with them or causes to be consirned.... :?:

Some causes is that occasionally when the power goes out or you unplug them they sometimes are touchy for actually starting back up, not a huge problem IMO. They're basically a much cheaper Tunze, let me emphasis the MUCH. Are they as reliable? Not really, are they good enough? Yeah.

Check out the Tunze nanostreams as well. They're smaller and cheaper than the full size versions.

I had a Seio - lasted 6 months. I got a Tunze still going strong 18 months later

I have a sieo 620 on my 30G. Every 15 minutes when the wave maker turns it back on it chatters for about one second. I can only guess how long it will last. For this size of tank I will just put a maxijet 1200 in when it goes out.

You put a Seio on a wavemaker?

I use a maxi mod instead.

Why not? People put maxi jets, tunzes and everything elso on them. Why not a seio?

Well for one the company that makes them specifically says you should NOT put them on a wavemaker

That very well could be that chatter chatter you're hearing every 15 minutes.

Tunze makes their own controller for the Streams.

I have a seio 1000. It is OK, no issues yet. I am saving to replace it with a stream 6200.

OK, you got me then. I set up this tank with leftover parts and didnt know the seio had wavemaker issues.

Even Tunze has wavemaker issues. Not all their pumps are for Wavemakers. They make that pretty clear... just check out the 6080.

Thats why they make their own controllers for the Streams that CAN be controlled.

I have both and much prefer the streams. Just a better pump all around.
