Big Momma uses 3/8" fittings, but if you talk to the folks at www.overclock-watercool.com they will upgrade it to 1/2" fittings for $5.00.

The eheim 1250 uses 3/4" in 1/2" out. The 1048 uses 1/2" in 1/2" out. I'd get the 1250 and convert it (connectors are about a dollar). Most water coolers recommend at least a pump rated at 250gph as it has nothing to do with the gravity from the 7", but the restictions in your total system. Once the water makes it threw everyting it's hardly a fraction of the pumps rated flow.

Good Luck!
