    Currently my tank has 2 Seio 620 gph powerheads and the return line is pushing about 400 gph.That gives me a total of 1640 gph throughout the tank in my 75 gallon. I'm going to be trying some sps coral soon so I would like more flow. I was thinking about adding 1 or 2 of these-Tunze Turbelle® Stream 2 Pump Reviews

    Opinions?

    Tunzes have been top of the line for years.

    I agree tunze is rated right up there with ecotech. If you can get them with a controller. SPS benefits a lot from random flow.

    That should do the trick to break up flow and make it more chaotic.

    I think that sounds good for SPS, although I would go with a multi-controller personally so I could control each pump separately.
