SEIO´S 1500 and fish

[juan jose]

I´m getting two hyperflow´s 1500 for my 90 gallon tank should I worry about any of my fish getting to much flow. I´m worried about the dwarf lionfish.

1) 2 yellowtail damselfish
2) 1 blue damselfish
3) 1 Clown Tang
4) 1 Foxface
5) 1 Dwarf Lionfish
6) 1 Six line Wrasse
7) 1 Tomato clown
8) 1 Four Stripe Damsel Fish
9) 1 Sailfin/algae blenny

I believe you can adjust the flow on those by turning the collar. At least on my Seio 1100's you can.

I have a 90 as well but with 2 1100's and they are on full blast. If you have enough live rock with nooks and crannies, it should be ok. Look at the fish and adjust from there.


Regards,

Pat

yep I ordered the 1500 thinking I could slow them down and help my fish adapt to the new flow. How did it go for you when you upgraded your pumps. I hope I don´t make a mess, having everything blown away.

I think if you have a 90 gal, you should go with 2 x 1100, I just installed 2 of them and they work great, however my is 180 gal and I should keep 2 x 1500 ( I sold it )

Yes you can adjust the flow by turning the flow thinggy. Very easy to set up.

I didn't have any trouble with sand blowing. I have them on opposite ends of the tank facing each other about midway between the top of the tank and bottom.

I have the 1200's facing toward the back of my rock on a wavemaker.
