srry for the hijack
How did you like the tunze skimmer ,I just got the 9015 and getting the 9010 for both my tanks .
Why are you selling?

 

[Jonathan]

pros:
dead silent
ultra low power consumption
small footprint
decent job of skimming

cons
if you bump it, it kills the foam head and it takes a while to come back
sensitive to stuff like putting your hands in the tank and feedings

whats the wattage on the gri pump and why are you selling it?

 

[Jonathan]

not sure about the wattage, give me a minute and ill do some research. here's the marine depot link for more info.

I am selling b/c I have to take down my tank for the moment, and this was my closed loop pump (through an OM squirt), but when i set it back up I'm not going to do sps so i wont need as much flow.

 

[Jonathan]

i emailed the manufacturer and ill let you know when i get a response

 

[Jonathan]

I also found that the older version of the pump that pushes a little more water (1140 gph) uses 138w so i imagine this one would be a little less.

[DRZL]

Jonathan,
stupid question but is the pump pressure rated?, if it was only a bit more flow Id be all over it

 

[Jonathan]

Andres,
not sure if it's pressure rated or not. but I emailed marinedepot and GRI to see and will let you know what I find out. What were you thinking of using it for?
hows the upgrade going?

 

[DRZL]

I was thinking of using it as my return pump, maybe with some penductors, hence the ques.

The upgrade is on the fence to be honest, theres the drums, and some debts, and of course I want to go on vacation in the summer....$$$ is endangered species in my life right now. Looking forward to hear about the pump

 

[Jonathan]

sounds like we're in a similar situation with our tanks and life. ill let you know what i find out about the pump

 

[DRZL]

we just need a large WC in our life, thats all

 

[Jonathan]

the pump is not pressure rated.
