![]() Looks like you transfered the whole face of the ES to the Eden.
Is this true? It just fits? Where did you buy the new pump? Definately want some feedback on how it performs. Just in case my pump ever quits.... |

http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/em...Pump+2000.html everything fits without any modification. the Eden version is hard to get here since there's no authorized dealer, or Eheim won't allow that. I am not to sure about it. I had the wife brought me the pump when she was on holiday in asia. if anyone interested I can see if I can get a shipment in.

![]() Thanks for that
Only concern I would have is the Eheim is 31watts and the ES is supposed to be only 12watts |

![]() well.. I am quite sure if ES is fitted to regular impeller, it will use 31 watts. With the needle wheel, the pump is moving less water, hence less power consumption.

![]() Ya that makes sense.
If you really want to know how much power it uses, all you need is a clamp meter and a line splitter. I bought a Fluke 334 and an Extech 480172. You can also make a line splitter with an extension cord by cutting a slit in the cord, but I don't know if you'll get a true reading that way. Really handy if you want to know how much power you're using. My clamp meter is overkill for the price. Any cheap one will do ya. All you do is multiply the reading; Amps X Voltage. Test your house's voltage where the unit is plugged in to get a true usage calculation. Last edited by gregzz4; 11-29-2011 at 01:57 AM. Reason: added info |

![]() I have the same tank size as yours,just wondering if sk181 is a little bit oversized? You don't worry about stripped the water too much for a Sps tank?
Anyway I ordered one already,cos my cabinet is only 22" inches tall,sk181 is the perfect size skimmer for me,just a little bit concerned about over skimed. |
