need advice on jets

do to the contest for the tunze jets this month i have taken a new look at my tank.what i need is some advice on a good pair of jets for my tank.i have stuff settling on corals.the only flow is the 780gph return in this 55 gallon tank.so without spending a large amount of cash,which is a big consideration,what would you all recommend?i think i only need 2 real small ones maybe blowing at the front of my tank so as not to have too much direct flow?my return has 2 nozles that bend.one points across the serface left to right and one is pointed at the front glass on the left side.

 

Hi,
I just built a spray bar from my return out of PVC and that takes care of the top of my tank. Then I have 2 RIO2100 pumps in each of the back corners of the tank and agian I extended the ouput with PVC spray bars that spray on the side of the tank. Works great!! I have a picture in my picture file.

 

i'de rather not mess with my return,i finally have it nice an quiet lol.i like how you did yours though.i still think i'll just use to small jets.i'm just not sure what brand or size yet.as i said,cost will be a factor,but i'm not going too cheap.i have a powersweap thats going to stay in the shed where it belongs,in a box.

 

I would go with a SEIO m620, possibly 2 of them. Im running 2 m620's on a 75g and I think I need more flow. Im going to upgrade sometime in the coming months.

 

nice pumps.i looked them up.if you upgrade and want to get some of your money back i may be interested,if their not to powerful for a 55 gallon?and not to old.if not,i found them for $35 a peice so i may get one a month.

 

thanks for the advice.i liked the reviews,i've seen them before and liked them.i just bought 2 new ones for $72 shipped.i needed them a long time.now i won't look in my tank and see dirt laying on my corals.

 

you should have looked at the koralias (if you didn't already)really great pumps. i don't have any experince with the seio pumps. i just stayed away from what i have heard from the rios.(even though it may not be true with the seios)

 

We are using the Hydro Koralia 4 in our 72. Plenty of flow and dispersion. For the 55 you should take a look at the Hydro Koralia 3. Here is a link.
Hydor Koralia 3 Circulation Pump/Powerhead UL 850 gph (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Powerheads > Fixed Flowrate Pumps )

 

yeah i've seen the seios in alot of very nice tanks.my 2 will be coming thursday.that new rios pumps do look and sound cool an all but i did read someone on here had a shock of an experience from the older ones so i passed on them.their are alot of very poor in quality products coming over from china lately,whats up with that?

 

wow thats a nice pump(Hydor Koralia).and $25 off.thanks again for all the help.
