Taam Seio M2600 or Two Hydor Koralia 4 - 1200GPH

Post by Curtis » Thu Dec 13, 2007 8:27 pm

For my 265 gallon 7 foot tank... which one of these two options would you pick and why? Hydor does have a guard for the Koralia 4 so fish safety isn't an issue.

I'm looking at ordering soon as a Christmas present for my fish... so all opinions are welcome.

One Taam Seio M2600 with 2600gph/10400lph vrs Hydor Koralia 4 with 1200gph/4600lph x2 :!: Both seem equal to a certain degree but i feel this will be a personal preference with one having less clutter in your tank and the other one with you having the choice of placing two power heads at each side of one end of the tank or opposite ends.

I personally would go for the Hydor Koralia 4 x2 as it would let you decide which placement suites you for the flow.

Broke down and got 4 of the Taam Seio 2600's. Wasn't a bad deal at all.. Total order came to $98.91 including shipping... I had VIP points with Big Als and they price matched someone elses deal... so for $25 a peice the deal was hard to beat. Merry Christmas to my fish.

I have two 265 gallon tanks they will go in.

Considering I'm adding 5200 gph for water movement to my 265's it should definitely be a good time had by all.

Only thing I'm not sure of is whether to shut them off at night or not.

Defiantly not!! Many Loach species move and search for food during the night. Nature for them is the constant flow of waters.

Sounds like a sweet deal! Yeah I'd definately leave em on overnight, but you may want to turn them off during feeding time.
