Thanks,

eheim, though I dunno they make one with the flow rates you're looking for.

Yeah I missed the meeting yesterday. It's hard to ever get a Saturday off from work. Glad to see your tank is coming along.

Not looking to add flow really, just returning water from the sump. I'll probably go through the SCWD that I have to add a little random flow to the tank.
On the Eheims. Do you really think they warrant twice the price of other pumps? I know they make high quality equipment, but twice the price is pretty extreme.

Yeah I think they are worth the extra cash. an Eheim1262 is pressure rated at 902 gph I think. The mags are flow rated so running through a scwd you will lose a lot more flow with the mag. Also the Eheim are silent and last forever. I lost a small part cleaning it and they sent replacement free. I use mags for return in prop tanks but if I get the extra cash that will change. I'm thinking very hard about the Seois for circulation, and less flow through sump.
