Eheim 1262 isn't enough... I had one of these and just took it out a couple weeks back, and put a Mag18 back in... This was due to the fact that there wasn't enought water turnover in the sump for my new skimmer.
The eheim pump is a great pump, but for turnover rate of your tank you need more.
My tank is a 180 gallon with 100 gallon sump.
