Krish's placement is exactly how i did mine. I think it works the best that way.

Yep, That's the way to do it. Mine are almost exactly in the same position also.

Yeah...I did the same thing when I got my Tunzes in my old 75gal. The placement there rocks!

thats cool but for some reason I dont understand...because the pump I got on marine depot looks totally different...Ill have to see what it looks like when I actually get it...I think i will get it on friday since I ordered it wednsday, and I got it shipped two day fed ex so I am hoping that means Ill get it tomorrow....but I kinda wanted to put mine towards the bottom and let it blow through all the live rock... but like I said before Ill have to dink around with it to see what works best.

ok nevermind I checked them out again at marine depot and I see the different mounting options so we are good to go...hopefully I will get it tomorrow I am so excited...

LOL...Have fun! That housing that you can use to cover it like what you see on the box, restricts flow somewhat. Also, using it cuts out quite a few mounting options...

You'll find that in this hobby your patience are not what they use to be before you started. When i order parts i want them here that afternoon or else i get pissed off. It just comes with the territory

well I guess I am not going to get the darn powerhead until monday....which sucks since I paid for fed ex two day service, and now I have to wait three more days.....what a bunch of crap.

That sucks.. You might be able to find locally at the LFS but it'll probably cost a little more, but no wait..artman230

Well ladies, and Gentz...the wait is over...I just got the seio and am off to see how it works.....I am so excited man...just like a kid in a candystore.....I will et everyone know how it works...YAY!!!!!

Sounds good! Don't put it too close to the surface when testing it out or you will pull a water spout into the powerhead!

Krish... a water spout? Under water?
I think he means a mini-vortex, and suck AIR. But it's OK, he has a baby taking up his attention. My Seios pull down air from the surface very occasionally. It's kinda cool, and definitely impressive to see that much flow.
