Jameshong Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 1262 should be sufficient but the watt is the killer. I recommend Tesino Amphibious pump GP232..Super silent and watt saver.

SRC Member Ah-lim Posted April 3, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted April 3, 2012 1260. Depends on whether you want faster turnover or slower turnover. 2 different schools of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
