Seio Prop super flow pump

redsea reefer · 09-15-2009, 03:33 PM

Has anyone tried the 530 or 1000? any feedback is appreciated...
This is what they look like.

I was just looking at buying one of the 530's... I'm also interested to hear if anyone has some experience with these pumps!!

I have tried Seio Superflow pumps.

I hated them. They couldn't be used on a wave controller, they were gigantic for the amount of water they moved, and when an impeller broke replacement parts were not available.

I quickly threw them out, rather than inflict them on some other unsuspecting reef keeper. I replaced them with Tunze stream pumps. Yes, the Tunze streams cost about 4 to 5 times as much but have worked on their wave controller flawlessly for years, and replacement parts can be obtained.

I will never purchase another Seio pump.

Thanks for the feed back DaveK, I ended up going with a Koralia 2.

i have 2 koralia 3's and dont care for them one bit. they give almost no flow for my tank,

jkburton1s · 11-09-2009, 07:58 PM

a week in the tank, and all is great. so much better than the korilas

How big is it compared to koralia?

my k3 measures 4x3 body only then another 2 inches for the magnet. the 530 measures 2.3h x 2 w x 3l, i put one of them in a bucket the other day and it flowed so close to the k3's , the 1000's measure 2.6h x 2w x 4 l . so not much size but id say the 1000s flow almost as much as mj1200 with the mod. so it will put tons of flow. with just the 2 1000s my 75 is very happy. i suplement with 2 mj1200s during daytime . all my stuff is so much happiers. id be happy to sell my k3s if that is the way you wanna go. but id suggest the seio's personally. also when in doubt go one step up

Thanks JKburton but don't want another Koralia, I think the 1000 will be to much for 34g RSM, I might try the 530. Thanks for the review...

jkburton1s · 11-12-2009, 07:41 PM

yeah the 530s will be good. i have them for my 40 breeder that im adding here in the next month or so.
youll like them. so will your coral.

semigodd154 · 11-19-2009, 01:09 AM

got a foster and smith catalogue today they have a controller in there for the seio super flow pumps $149 might try 2 of the m2600's and get rid of my korillias

sorry this controller is not for the super prop pumps its for the super flows m1100, m1500, and m2600.

jkburton1s · 11-19-2009, 01:51 AM

how do you figure you have 70x turnover, im pretty sure you dont have that much. k's are messed up with flow rate. if you had 70x flow you couldnt possibly have anything other than sps and then you would be on the super high end of flow. i have a 75 with a pair of 1000s a pair of mj1200s and a 600 gph return pump. that would mean i have 66x NO way ..... you have like maybe 10 or so

semigodd154 · 11-19-2009, 01:33 PM

well you tell me the flow i have i have 2 korillia 4's and 2 korillia 1's so whatever the messed up flow rate from those are on a 44gal tank is my turnover no livestock yet havent got my lights thanks
