Star Polyps Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Four Seio820 should be enough, placement in the tank should also be considered.Not enough if you're setting a SPS tank but enough for LPS. Electricity bills is alwaya high if you're going into reefing cause you need to run a Chiller, lightings, pumps etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chonglai Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 hehehehe. i'm looking for ways to minimize these expenses on electricity, that's why i'm always on the lookout for low wattage equipments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dandelion76 Posted November 19, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2005 I would advise you to go for 1 or 2 Tunze 6060 instead. 12W (or 15W?) per wavemaker but gives u 6000 l/h or flow, and much much better life-span. In Singapore, $$ for 3 Seio 820 = $ for 1 Tunze 6060. Try online store to see if they deliver to Philipines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Kelmen Posted November 21, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 21, 2005 IMO: the less electrical devices to be use, the safer we are. Unless the device is over your requirement. SEIO 620 vs 820, not that much difference. I would go for 820. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tineng Posted November 21, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 21, 2005 tunze still the best.....by seio's impeller shaft broken in less then a year....tunze i hardly hear of complaints of it breaking down.... oh yeah, back to your original questions, 4 seio 820 should be enought for LPS tan k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
