Looking to trade a pump

[forrestcook]

I have a used mag 9.5 pump that I bought from another person here a while back. Well, I finally tested it out in the tub and it's got way too much power for what I need it for. I want to trade it for a pump that can be run externally and has a GPH of under 600 but can still push up three feet.

Just a thought, Ehiem's are a lot quieter and can run internal/external, pricey, yes but what is dependable worth? I use a 1250 on my cube, almost a 4' lift, approx 390GPH, even use a 1048 for awhile as FW, but wanted more flow for the horse tank

I have an eheim in my 40b, if no one has a pump to trade (read: free to me since I'm not using the 9.5), I'll buy another eheim. I'm using the 1260 on my 40, but I wish I had gone with the 1262 for that little extra oomph.

what I didn't mention is that this is the pump I'll be using for the chiller... so lower GPH is desirable so the chiller is more efficient. I'm thinking that through correctly, right? More time for the water in the coils equals better chilling?

Look up your chillers specs on line, mine, Artica 1/10th HP needs approx 240 GPH so I use a MaxiJet 1200(tank to chiller, no lift involved)

Good idea, hadn't even considered that.
