Before someone tells me 30x to 50x a hr. I already know that. I am thinking I am not going to install the closed loop on my 75 gallon. Due to increased flood risks, higher electrical costs, I am thinking of going the power head route. Specifically Seio, or Tunze. I want wide flow dispersal, and less of the concentrated maxijet style.
To be honest I would love to buy tunze. Not sure if my tank would need 2 6060's or 2 6080's. I'm not sure that I need controllable powerheads. And I am not sure that the potential benefits of controlling flow output outweigh the loss of water movement. If 2 6060's will work I also have 2 Seio 620's I can use to suppliment flow. And if I got the 6080's I still have the 2 Seio 620's for use too.
If I was to go the Seio route would 2 1500's , and 2 620's be enough for flow. I have never had a problem with the Seio powerheads restarting. Always have done a good job for me.
The power effciency goes to Tunze 4500 gph for 38 watts on two 6080's. If I went the Seio route it would cost me me roughly 90-120 watts depending on what powerhead combo's I used.
