The Iwarna guy strongly recommended me not to. The manual say yes.

In the end, I didn't.

PS: I bought a HR17.

Not recommended to run external.. But can lar..

[stevenkoh08]

i don't recomend for that as it'll have heat and then the pump will start to get noisy

thanks guys.... guess the choice now boils down to eheim and aquabee... "quite ex for me" anybody has any other brands to recommend?

eheim is a good investment. if used as a main return, better to go for 'tried and test'? The price difference wouldn't be that much.

btw: go petmart and ask, you may get a pleasant surprise. And bring cash, u will save more.

Actually, I am considering selling a couple of my used ehiem pump. What flow rate are you looking for?
