reef165 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 i would add a seaswirl in the middle, back of the tank on your return from the sump and that should breakup the streams of water coming from the seio's and create alternating curent aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 You also could get a wave maker and put the seios on alternating on/off timers. You also could aim the seios to bounce off the front or sides of the tank to create differing currents in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 You can't put Seios on an on/off timer, you have to get their controller. Most of them have startup issues. The controller runs like 200-250. I would add another Seio or Koralia pump, bouncing all 3 off different walls. That should get things nice and chaotic in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The Seio really don't have that good of a flow in the first place. But it is what it is. What are the dimensions of your tank. What return do you have? I have a couple of Ideas depending on the latter. Do you have a pic. And we don't worry about the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Tammy. was up girl? It's Kevin from seahorse.org The amount of flow needed for a tank is very much dependent on the livestock being kept in the tank. Some livestock actually needs lower flow, or flow that is greatly broken up in order to thrive. To give the best advice on how or if you need more flow you'll have to let us know what your keeping in the system. HTH Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
