Propeller Pumps in general (such as these Seio and SunSun/Perfect Pumps) provide a much "Softer" broad water flow rather than the more harsh and directed flow of traditional Power Head Water Pumps.
In particular, the Premium AAP Seio pump (which although is not as well known of late, has a long history with aquarium professionals) has a nice spread of the water volume so as to provide good circulation without strong streams of underwater current; this is particularly desirable in planted freshwater (even more so Amazon River set ups) and reef saltwater aquariums.
The proven and long lived Seio pumps we sell have the perfect flow for aquarium applications under 100 gallons, where as most propeller pumps, (including the AAP/SunSun we sell) are too powerful for small to medium sized aquarium applications.
The Economy AAP/SunSun vibration/propeller pumps combine reliability in a more economical high flow pump.
These are the same propeller circulation pumps made by SunSun and sold under many different brand names including AquaTop & Hygger.
Both are optimum choices for use with wave makers or similar, since the propeller impeller design lends itself to the constant on and off cycles of such devices.
This said, Propeller pumps are not for everyone as these have almost no head pressure and are not meant for running attachments or pumping water outside of your aquarium (including pre-filters). As well there are times you may need or desire the more directed current of a traditional power head water pump.
