I only use one.... remeber this isnt a power head it is just something that moves side to side.
They actual water flow depends on the return pump.
Hope that helps....

Owner and creator of Sea Swirl lives close to me in NE PA. Will stand behind everyone sold- had one that was 4 years old that stopped movement- SeaSwirl replaced free of charge.
If you are looking for movement of water- this is one of the easiest ways and takes up little space versus other options.

I have had mine for about one year now and about every forth oscillation it makes a noise kinda like a quite cat meow.
Works great but a meeoooow noise about every 6 minutes can be very annoying.
Have you experienced similar issues.

It sounds like you may have a slight build up of Ca or Coraline etc. or just some wear where the pivot joint is.
I did have a similar sound at one point- a thourough cleaning and lubrication with a food grade silicone lubricant (not vaseline) took care of my issue and will not harm corals or inhabitants of your tank.

Wife is a dental hygienist- used dental instruments- did not disassemble only cleaned areas I could get to with a long scaling instrument-
Along the pivot area, put a bead of food grade silicone and used side of finger to work into the housing where contact was occurring.
It did take some time but did work.
