Eheim Professional 3 250 Flow rate with SS pipe.

[Dscheng]

Hi all,

Anyone using Ehiem Pro 3 250 model with 950L/H running through SS pipe for 2 X 2FT tank? Basically just one tank with SS pipe and another tank with the normal outlet flow.

Not sharing the same water parameter, just a pass through SS pipe.

Currently setup is Canister--> Chiller (HS28 with external Probe) -> ITSA co2 reactor --> Tank. (Current setup output flow is very strong)

So if i am planning for Canister --> Chiller --> SS pipe (Double coil type) --> ITSA co2 reactor --> Tank.

Will it greatly affect the flow rate ?

Must compensate for height of tank....pass through hoses / reactors and chillers. Chiller also need minimum flowrate to work. The final output maybe just barely enough to create a very slow flow.

Guys, how about adding an immersible water pump to aid the flow rate? Can work?
My canister is using 12/16mm hose, so i guess my flow rate will be greatly reduced. So this works, which flowrate water pump should i get?
Need some advice.

Canister 950L/H --> Chiller --> (water pump)--> SS pipe (Double coil type) --> ITSA co2 reactor --> Tank.

Have you consider a mini chiller if the purpose is to cool the other tank only? They sharing same filter?

My purpose is to cool 2 X 2FT tank.
