Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, intend to get Arctica 1/4 HP DBE200, initially intend to get the chiller Eheim pump 1260, but from the specs it seems like it is over power..... fyi my return pump is 1262 or 1264 better? My main tank is 4x2x2 and sump tank is 2.5 feet.

Specs for DBE200=Flow Rate (gph)(Min/Max) 480/1920,

Specs for Eheim pump 1260=Pump Output: 2400 l/h.

My caculation correct a not ha?

And this is the portion of the spec we need to check when getting the correct pump right?

Thanks.... :)

the flow rate of the chiller is in gallons, 480 / 1920gph = 1817 / 7267lph. looking at it that way your ehiem 1260 (at 2400lph) is not underpowered.

Thanks for the prompt reply bro..... i understand now.... btw..... the chiller will not work harder if i use a stronger pump like 1262 or 1264?

Or not much different? Thanks..... :)

1260 is good enough

you might encounter 1-2 dead spot when using 1 mp40

i am planning to add another 6045 but afraid some of my lps might not like it

Thanks for the advice bro... :)

For the wavemaker, if that is the case, a nano wavebox 6206/6215 would be a better choice?
