I want to try to what happens if I increase the flow on my zero edge with a stronger pump. Currently I have a Quiet One 4000 on it. I just need to borrow one for the day to try out. Thanks.

You could borrow my Eheim 1262 to test out.

thanks, that pump is rated at 900, which the QO 4000 is already rated higher so I guess it won't be better?

It's gonna be real close. The eheims are much closer to specs.

Quiet One 4000 are not even in league with the Eheim 1262.

I run a Q1 4000 on that 58g and the Eheim 1262 on the 120g and the 120g is full twelve inches taller in stand height.

This is for inside the tank...I might try one on the 120, but I don't think it will work on the ZE, with the way they have the return setup. Thanks for the info
