    the seio prop pumps are but not the polarios. I was in my LFS this weekend and they had a couple of them (Seios). They are kind of large for the amount of flow they put out. and for the price of one seio at 500gph i coud get 1 and 1/2 hydors at 2X the flow and 1/2 the size.

    I saw the Polario at MACNA it was WAYYYYY cool. I talked for awhile with the rep. I am going to use one in my 450 as soon as they hit the shelves.

    Somewhere I have some video. We talked the guy into turning it all the way up and it was blowing the water out of the tank.

    I am using the 530 and flow is more than a K-3 I heard that the 1000 and 1500 gph are coming in 6 weeks. I like the magnet mount nice and strong.

    Polario is only 5500 gph or 3500 gph

    has anybody purchased these yet? Marine Depot is offering the 3500gph one for 249.00 and was considering this.

    I have a 135g and seem to have a flow issue....currently have a couple Koralies in there and a maxi-jet mod and I would like to upgrade and go to one pump only!

    I was looking at the Koralia 8 versus this one! I know this is more expensive but is the 2 alternating heads worth the extra money? Any experiences, suggestions?
