Hi all, I am still new in this hobby and have started my first pico tank Gex Glassterior 300 at 13l in May and I am currently running eheim liberty 200 running at max 760l/hr with a little eheim skim 350 power head rated at 300l/hr. I know the tank is small and I am running it with biohome, rowaphos and seachem de*nitrate in the liberty compartment. I am planning to do an upgrade to my current tank to custom make a 42cm x 42cm x 42cm due to space constraint and to have as large as a sump I can to place in the cabinet with a skimmer. Therefore, I went to seaview earlier today and saw this 2 pumps: Eheim universal 1250 and compact+ 2000. They 2 cost the same but the compact+ has a smaller footprint and pumps 750l/hr more water at max settings. I would like to hear your views which is better and the pros / cons of each pump. Thanks!

Tank: 3.5ft x 2ft x 1.5ft, 12mm

Sump: 3ft

Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 7

Lightings: Maxspect 15000k

Return Pump: Eheim 1252

Wavemaker: Jebao WP25, Jebao RW-8

Check with Aquarium Artist if he has any 1.5ft cube tank set for sale. Would be cheaper than custom making one.
I wish to have 1.5ft but it will be protruding out from my wall. I want it to flush with my wall so max I can go is 42cm. Maybe I will check with aqurium artist for solutions.

Going for ehiem is a right choice and both model equally OK except head loss is better using 1250 and it can use for both submerged or non.
Ok noted. I also will want to ensure reliability in the long run.

If you want that, aquarium artist can also customize. Go ask him.
