Return pumps

[Grace's Dad]

Well, I changed schools and haven't been paid since Aug. 1st. My paychecks are going to start this Friday. It is time for me to start getting the new 280 up and running.
I will be using my old 125 for a sump and don't want to drill.

So I need opinions on submersible return pumps.
I was looking at using two Eheim 1262.

Inside the tank I plan on using two Tunze 6200.

Any opinions?

the bigger eheims are very power ful maybe try one if you want another than get it

If I remeber right you were going to blow from one end of the tank to the other.

How far is that going to be. Where will you place the streams?

Farmer, I'm reading that the 1262 only does 900gph at 0ft head.

levon- they'll need to pump up almost 6ft and over 6ft.

Streams will be on same side as overflow.

it is more than 900 gph my eheim 1260 is more powerful than the mag 9.5 that i was using before it
