Greetings,
I'm new here hello everyone

I am about to order the Iwaki MD20rz, its featuring a 210GPH @ 0ft head and a Max head of 24ft. I am worried about the low flow, even it has a 24ft max head, but comparing to the Eheim 1250, the MD20rz is like half the flow.
I'll be using 3/8" ID tubes, or even a smaller 8mm ID tubes, is it a bit too small to use with the MD20rz? The entire setup consists of two Swiftech MCW50-T, a radiator and a reservoir, probably two more hdd cooler.
Shall I go for bigger tube ID? I prefer 8mm or 10mm bcos I'll be using some German made parts, the largest they're offering is 10mm. Am I loosing performance with small tubes?

Thanks for yer help, appreciate it
