[sherman]

bro,1foot?

Oop I miss the 5

5 footer

[MadScientist]

get a eheim 1262 for sump? would get mp40W for some wave action. i have seen mp20 live, they are amazing. can even use it in my washing machine if i want to.

got eheim compact today. super silent n low heat, so cool. my eden was like an oven, bent my acrylic cover due to heat.

5ft can go for reddragon pump,

10ft too.. bigger models

reliable,small,quiet,power saving

downside

expensive.

other alternative,

go for eheim

aquabee 5k and above looks good also..but my experince with aquabee6k and 7k lots of headlost. bcome very weak.

reddragon the price scary leh, haha. got method to try to scavenge some pressure, just don't put it absolute vertical. I tried it with not bad results. I have a gentle gradient return pipe with a few u tubes. Managed to climb 20% higher than stated in the package. Minus points are the costs of pipes and the maintainability.

[MadScientist]

wonder which pump has the lowest wattage and heat. nowadays recession, increasing electrical bill and increasing CO2, so must cut power,

[ReDDeviLs]

reddragon lor hahaha!

[MadScientist]

price scary leh, anyone recommend hydor or tunze?

Aquabee is out due to headlost.

So left with Eheim.

Eheim what model you recomend?

And what is the spec?

1262 3400l/h 3.6hmax 80w more info @ http://www.eheimasiapacific.com/prod_pump_universal.html

Do we realli need silicone carbide bearings? ceramic seems good enough. wonder when will diamond coated bearing appear,

[MadScientist]

wonder if there's a cheaper way to use multiple pumps for wavemaking instead of a controller. tried to make waves with carlson's device (not sure spelling is correct or not), amazingly noisy and the pivot always spoil

[ReDDeviLs]

so far onli reddragon have return pump that can pulse like tunze wavemakers.

btw, ehiem 1264x1 and 1262x1 is good for u sherman..better to haf 2 incase 1 fail,although ehiem seldom fail haha.
