The polarios arent cheap, around 300 bucks. But they have a contoller for each, and let you turn either 1 of the pumps on or off, or have both on and pump alot of water. a nice unit if you dont want to or three pumps in your tank but want a spread flow. |

The 530 gets only about 500 gph, whereas the polario gets about 10000gph and lternates to make waves. It comes with adapters so you can use it in a closed loop. Someone on another forum that also ad a thread on these when i was searching inline for info joked the someone at TAAM likes their security cameras too much, lol. Pricewise, im stcking to hydors and maxis. | |

Sounds promising, but with limited funds, especially close to the holidays...so I will be sticking with the powerheads that I am currently using.
Good to keep in mind in the back of my head though! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
