I have an H&S 300 2X1260 external skimmer on a 250 medium stock SPS tank. . Body diameter just uynder 10". I have had problems with the impeller chewing up the SS washers and more noise than I would like. Recently one of the Ehiem 1260 pumps cracked the housing resulting in a leak and tripping of the ground fault supply...not good. Looking for a cure.
Would like to stay with an external, but Royal does not include the new DC pumps in that line. My opening in the sump is 9". I do have 11" width, but would have to trim some of the lip of acrylic in the sump. Possible, but not ideal. Looks like the only unit that may fit would be the Delux 200 at 10" wide and some grinding on the sump.
Another option I am considering is a RD3 pump and modify the connections to work with existing skimmer. No bubble plate. Recomend 50 or 60W?
I noticed you do not have Delux 200 in stock. Can I order direct form Europe? Estimated time and approximate cost to ship, including taxes?.
Possibly several other questions once we decide on the path forward. Feel free to call me if better able to communicate. I am in Washington State.
Thanks,
Ken
More than happy to discuss over the phone if you have contact info.
