Hi Duncan
thanks for that :D
the dilemma is should I get an artesian AP1/2 -92 that pulls 620watts ish with a possible 9k gal per hour which I don't think I would ever get considering the size of my 2" pipework or go for the variable speed Eco 3 to run an Aquadyne 4.4c on a 4.2k
pond
problems problems :?:
