Will my water flow be too low because of this setup?

[strokeside]

I am planning my Water rig, and I have a choice of pumps. The other parts of the rig are:
Swiftech MCW372-B,
1/2" tubing,
Heater Core (3/4" fittings).
The pumps are the Eheim 1048 or the Eheim 1250.
Ya see,I'm a right cheap fellow, so I want to know if I can get away with using the 1048 (600Lph/132Gph) instead of the 1250 (1200Lph/264Gph). I'll be overclocking my system as in my sig, so should the lower flow rate of the 1048 do me, or do I need the 1250 one???

Any ideas??

of course you want the biggens pump you can afford. alot of people use the 1048 however and i've never heard any complaints. most complete kits you can get come with the 1048, i think you'd be fine with that. the switfty doesn't need as much flow as a maze anyway because it uses turbulance...


good luck.

go with the 1048 because unless you are going 1/2 throughout the system the 1250 wouldnt be gaining you anything because of so much backpressure.

Yes, the Eheim 1048 pump will be great for you.
Don't give it another thought.
