Hi All,
I am in the process of redoing my RBTA species tank. It is currently a 40L (48"x12" footprint). Flow is currently done only with the return pump (an Eheim 1262 - it is four outlets spaced around the tank, works very well.
The new BTA tank will be a 100L (72"x18" footprint). I am working out the flow for this tank. I am looking at doing a closed loop and a return. I was thinking / hoping to use the Eheim 1262 as the closed loop pump.
I remember reading about penductors long ago and remember the are best on pressure rated pumps but can not remember why.
Is it at all possible to do them on a pump like an Eheim?
What are the downsides to doing this since it is not a pressure rated pump?
I am sure if the search function was up I could have quickly gotten my own answer to this but well I guess not until the upgrade is done.....
Thanks!
