or smaller, depends o your tubing.
my mcp600 was supplied with two, dunno about the mcp655.
not sure how it would take the restriction... (mcp 600 used to specifically say not to run with smaller than 3/8" ID tubing/fittings ... the mcp655 just warns against "excessive restriction" (which voids the warranty))

8mm ID sounds pretty restrictive (less than 1/4" ID)

btw is quiet is the aim then an eheim 1048 may be a better bet than a 1250...
