Doesnt make your polyps close up and your fish swim for their lives.

I like the Tunze due to the controllers as well, but also because it is not a hard jet of water coming out. It is a nice diffused flow. I have two in my 58 gallon tank (at about 500 gph) and it is not overkill , by any stretch...everybody in my tank has great flow but is not being blown over!

The Seio pumps also have a nice gentle flow and you can dial down the flow as well. | |
