Well, first off all the fittings are metric, so it will be a real pain. The second thing is that my new pump will be here in about a month, so I'd hate to do anything I can't "undo".
I had thought about it though. This is how BK does their externals as well. I think it makes for easy removal and well as dampening the sound.

I know that kip has the link to get a metric to standard conversion union. He used it on his and I believe Sanjay used one as well.
You can do a search or PM kip. If not, I can get it for you. I know the eheim is only short term. I was thinking ahead; you know me, I am always think ahead

I don't know. If my BK 200 had been an external, I'm not sure it would've gotten delivered, and Jim would be a member of the BK skimmer club.:lol:

Yeah talked to Jim yesterday and he was saying how nice that BK was. I would say for sure if that was an EXT he would have bought it.

Yeah, if Jeremy's BK was an external, I would have bought it. IMO they're just too expensive to buy them new. Very nice, but very expensive. Also its pretty much impossible to find a used ext BK.
I am very happy with the final product, and look forward to hooking it up to my tank

No kidding! That's why I now own an H&S.
I'm not really too sad, the H&S rocks.
