Need a pump w/a 3/4" intake
 

i built a custom res w/ a 3/4" barb and i don't want hose adapters or other stuff before the pump if i can avoid it

i need a pump with
-3/4" intake.
-A/C or D/C doesn't matter
-$70 or less
-very reliable
-1/2" output helpful
-quiet is a plus (though i built a very effective shroud on my current pump)


does ehiem 1048 or 1250 have 3/4" intakes?

i'm replacing a slow leaking mag2 (don't ask) so it won't be hard to get better preformance

aquaextreme 50z. $80 and changeable barbs and highly recommended by Cathar. Invest the $10 and some more for shipping.

Ehiem I believe is 3/4 barb on the intake side.

1250 is 3/4" intake, 1048 is 1/2" ...

Note, those are BSP thread sizes rather than barb sizes.

no, they are barb sizes on the 60hz eheims sold in the US (where the OP is situated) -

http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewIt...product=EH1048

a) the thread sizes in an eheim (in the UK/EU) are 3/8" BSPT (1048 in/ou, 1250 out) and 1/2" BSPT (1250 in)

b) US eheims use NPT fittings i believe (same nominal sizes..)

Danner mag 3 has customizable barbs and is powerful, reliable, and cheap.

It could varym, but afaik, the euro ones are BSPP:http://www.reptilica.de/shop/product...0/lang/german/
