I use Seios on my tank and haven't had any trouble from them.

I have a seio and the only complaint I would have is that It needs to be cleaned weekly.. It has open vents on each side and front and it sucks in alot of junk like food or sand... I forgot to clean it and it clogged up and broke the impellor... But otherwise they are good.

I find that they are difficult to start and need a shake or two to get going, but once they are going they move a lot of water over a large area so you don't have concentrated flow per se. I have two of the 820's on my 75 and they provide a lot of movement.

Sieos are nice. I have a M1500 in my 180. The only complaint I have is they are a constant stream and from my understanding they can't be hooked up to a wave maker. IMO the Tunze streams are the way to go. A little pricy but worth it.

I'm a believer in Maxi's also...tried Ehiem's, Rio and other's, so far I haven't had a Maxi-jet fail yet.

Maxi-jets

i have maxi's hooked up to a wavemaker, i still have the original maxi's from my 125 that was started back in 1992. they have withstood years of 30 second pulses and not a failure yet. i havent even had to change an impellor~

I agree, maxijets are great I use 4 on a wavemaker, and one on my kalk reactor. The only time I've ever had an issue with them is when the impeller starts to break down on my kalk reactor.

I have used a seio 620 also. Its a good little pump, but I think that maxijets are better simply because of reliability.

I've used Seio's but i do not like them. Once i turned them off, they
were a pain to start backup.

I have Maxi's!! (4) I love them. I dont have them on a wavemaker, yet
anyway.

maxi-jets here too. I have 4 from back when I started this 120g. tank. They are still kicking and not once a problem.

Sieos work well. I use seo pumps on all of my aquariums and have never had any problems. A good place to find some good seo pumps is http://www.liverocknreef.com/.
