Eheim and a squid

[king1522]

Does anyone know if the Eheim 1250 is powerful enough to run a SCWD? If not, what is the minimum submersible pump does it need?

I am running an Eheim 1262 on a SCWD pumping up about 4 ft with a few elbows here and there. Not very much head loss except for the SCWD. I believe at most I'm getting 650-700 gph since it will fill just slightly faster than my 600 gph overflow. Installed a ball valve to slow the flow slightly.
