H20cooled Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 That should work really good, the Eheim pumps on there quick but for skimming. What brand is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just ask, How crazy a deal? Any other "deal" on em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 The only downfall that I see to it is the fact that they say the pumps are rated for 90W each which is very high, I would be interested to see how air they are pulling out of 90w. I bet with a simple switch to a mesh wheel you could lower that power consumption and greatly increase the air input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mbeef61 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 kinda risky for me to consider with this investment...also considering its rated for like 4 times my system....the deal was about 1 third the online price and no this is a one and only deal. and yes its new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mbeef61 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 it says they are 65 watt 790 gph eash...http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=1015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Very nice. At 790gph each it seems that intake pipe should be larger? Can't wait to see it in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 it says they are 65 watt 790 gph eash...http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=1015 Thats strange cause the other link says that they are rated for 90w each. 65W seems a lot more reasonable for those pumps, from what I can see they look like Ehiem pumps.

H20cooled Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yeah I looked at one of them at Waves this weekend and I think they are re-labeled Ocean runner pumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefgeek84 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 look at this one... http://www.aquacave.com/detail.aspx?ID=1014 soon they are just going to wrap pumps all the way around one, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nu2reef-n Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 That's the way the big Deltecs are set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mbeef61 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 yeah they already have a 4 pump version too...ironically called the 4000, i saw it on a reefcentral thread...a guy HAD to upgrade from the 3 pump version to the 4 pump...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 4 pumps like that is extremely inefficient, for the 60w of power they use each they only put out around 10lpm of air. With a modified Ehiem 1260 pump it takes around the same amount of power but puts out 30lpm of air. So, you would be a lot better off with 1 Ehiem then 2 or 3 of these pumps.
