Aquarium Advice FINatic
I am looking to replace all the pumps in my main tank. I am not happy with the flow nor turn over. As a result, I have read a couple good reviews about Iwaki pumps. However, I do not have the room for an external pump. As a result, I am leaning toward a RIO 26HF. This is rated at 1350GPH @ 4'. MY current RIO 3100 (Which is probably as old as the tank) is rated at 690GPH at 4'. So many discussions about turnover, I would be moving from approx 8 times / hr to about 16 times / hr. I am concerned about the effects of the stronger return on my tank, considering it will probably blow little nemo away, but I don't see an alternative. Anyone use the RIO HF series? Any input is welcomed..I am also going to replace my old 402's with a pair of Seio M620's ( http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idProduct=TA3711 ). They have an interesting approach to water flow. Anyone have these are experience with these?
