    I use 2 seio prop circulation pump there each 1000gph and the flow is huge and gentile. they kinda look like tv cameras and they have a solid magnet mount and there a lil cheaper.

    I have two 3's. I like them. Can't use them with a wavemaker because they make noise at startup. Once they're running they're great. Create a ton of indirect flow.

    I use two of the 3's they work great very efficient and creates a gentle flow not a sharp flow like other PH

    I have two 4's and two 3's. They work well and create some nice flow. I have seen the 4's modded to create double the output. I am gonna do that and see how it works cuz I could still use a little bit more flow

    Mirandacollc, I will try and take some photos of the mod. My camera is messing up lately. I just got the parts to do it. I googled how to do it and there are alot of posts on how to. It was probably covered on here too I don't remember. It seems pretty easy though.
