I am using 2 Power sweep in my 65gl. and it's working very well... But I need to clean them every month to keep them sweeping....

I am currently using 3 power sweeps 228 in my tank . Since tank has been set up i havent realy done much cleaning of them and they are working fine. I dont realy have a problem with the sweeping motion stopping like other people. Thank God. I think they are great with water movement

As of right now i have one on each side of the front glass at the top, and one in the middle back glass at the top. I revoved the pre-filter on them also . I noticed more water movement from the outlet. The positions of the power heads are only temp. for now. | |

I have heard great things about the Seio M620 It is a sweeper pump that also moves water similar to the Tunze Streams.
I believe they are made by RIO but am not sure.
anyway check out http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_...io.asp?CartId=

They look like nice pumps . I am going to do some more research on them. I may consider buying one to see how good they work.
