Try one of the Wavy Sea's. That way it will move water back and forth and not just blast it in one direction.

I really never saw the point of having so many pumps inside the tank for water flow. It clutters the tank, view wise. I have a magdrive 18 as the return pump and 4 sections of loc-line spray bars. You can point each spray bar where ever you want and get the flow that you need, even point one or two at the surface to avoid the surface scum build up and if you have mh get that schimmering effect. simple but effective.

the Hydor Koralia 3 Circulation Pump/Powerhead UL 850 gph were very tempting.i only have a couple areas that gather dirt on the corals so i think the 2 SEIO m620 pumps will give me the wide current i need for my small tank.the maxi jets were cheep but they seemed like they would blast a narrow stream.i'll see thursday or friday how well i choose.i found this thread very informative.thanks to all who gave their input.like i said,cost is a factor.its taken yrs to peice together my equipment and from experience i know its not good to go too cheap so i get as nice as i can afford and continue patiently peicing my tank together.just upgraded the main pump and heater cause i went too cheap with them.

We use Koralias on our tank too. They are really good pumps and I love the fact that they use magnets instead of useless suction cups to hold them to the glass.

Looking very serious at one or two for my returns from the sump. Jason McKenzie is running some on his 370g and likes them very much. I like the fact that they are programable.
