Power Heads For A 55g

[N1z]

so wot wld be better? cos i wnt over 15x my tank of water movment but no stagnent areas or build up of dirt...
wot about this plan with sieos as i want the best of the best really

All 3 sieo 620 wld be on all day but at night only #1 wld be running to show calm night seas lol. wot u think? as i dont want any like build up of waste or wld it be too much for a sand bed?
As 1 wld be doing top side
2 wld be doing middle-low side then
3 wld be doing middle from opposite side of tank...

OR
i cld have a sieo in place 1 then say 2 or 3 400maxit jets on 5 min intervals in the other 2 spots then they turn off at night except the sieo?
so really the sieo 620 is constantly running and then i wldnt be killing the pumps with maxijets.
Whats best?

I would just leave all three on continuosly. Don't worry about calming the seas at night. It isn't practical and doesn't benefit the livestock in any way. You want to keep the detrius in solution all the time not just durring the day. Also your equipment will wear out faster if you are turning it on and off unless you have the money to drop on a tunze (but I suspect if you had that dough you'd be getting a bigger tank than a 55 gal)!
