You're right Ben that once you get a siphon you'll be fine, but having the pump push the mercury in the first place could be a challenge (I surely would not suck the stuff through if it wasn't beefy enough
). Still though, specific gravity is still of a concern... my pump is rated to 1.1, and I bet Eheims aren't much better (wheras mercury is 13.55).
Skule? That's a Toronto Engineering joke... along the same lines as our Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad. I guess this classic quote says it best:
Tree yeers a-go I couldn't spell engenear... now I are one.
