I have used eheim compact pumps , but mine are only the 300. They work great for what I am using them for, One runs my dual media reactor, and the other one will be used for my ATO when I get it hooked up. The +3000 has a flow rate of 792 gph and a max head of 2.3 meters, which is about 7 ft. Im guessing with the head loss its not going to be pushing much water if you want to use it as a return pump. I couldnt find a chart that shows the calculations for the head loss. I would look for that and see how it will fit your needs. It looks to be a great space saver, but I would spend a few bucks more and go with a proven thing and get a 1260 or 1262

This issue was raised before, Im not sure if theres anything the web guys can do about it, but we can always ask again.

I have a flame hawkfish that is my favorite, he is always on the move dodging from one cave or crevice to another. I did my aquascape with this in mind, providing lots of places for him. They dont have swim bladders, so he doesnt swim out in the open very much, tends to stay perched on the rocks. But being bright red, and very active he always catches the eye of every new person that sees my tank.

There was a late surge at the end of the month. I think everyone did a great job with the topic, its going to be interesting to see who wins.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR ENTRIES THIS MONTH
