That is exactly what i meant by "too powerful", thanx.
Like g.l.amour said high head + low volume pumps are hard to come by out there. I cannot find Via pumps in Europe - and i dont want to shell out $400 for an Iwaki. We have Eheim, Maxijet, Hydor, Project - those are easy to find.
By switching to a 1048 from a 1250 for example, can bring good results in a severely restricted circuit. The 1250 will not produce more flow - just more heat...
