If my ONLY choices were those two, I'd pick option #1. The increased flowrate from dual Seio's is worth its weight in gold.

That being said, I wouldn't buy either of those setups cause the lighting is very low and wouldn't support the corals I like. If its FOWLR, then go nuts, but 2xT8 will really only support the hardiest of softies.
