Very nice comparison video. I like how you did the quick test. It is tough as sometimes you pay for the better product and sometimes you pay just for the label so it's good to know which is which on some of these things.
Get a larger bucket or container, take a 6 foot hose and attach it to a ladder and then see how they work, then remove the hose from the pumps turn them over and let them run in the container and measure the temp of the water before and after 6 hours and see how much warmer the water is.
@@TheSimpleAquarist I telling about my decision. I just start setup SW tank. I was thinking to get eheim. But after several consideration, better to get good lighting 1st. 😅
Yup agree rerftank try not to save on lighting. I did that mistake as well many times. I suggest you pick higher pump rating x10 if you going to use sobo as you know the loss on flow is alot.
China Pump..........flow rate at least cut 40 ~ 50 %............test 1 pump 800 LPH.........drop to 300+................hard to choose correct flow rate

German.... Had a Eheim pump for 20 years so far...
And Mile washing machine.
Top stuff.... But did cover wiring near pump with Siicone when NEW.

Exactly! Thank you.
I have a few EHEIM 1264 and 1250s. Love them. Waiting for EHEIM to walk into 2020s and start producing DC controllable pumps.
Yes they are the best -- im still waiting for those.
This is an old vid.. but im just curious about your test.. the sobo pump i believe has an adjustable flow rate.. was it on max during the test?
Not really adjustable , Its fully max.
Get a larger bucket or container, take a 6 foot hose and attach it to a ladder and then see how they work, then remove the hose from the pumps turn them over and let them run in the container and measure the temp of the water before and after 6 hours and see how much warmer the water is.
Great video!! Love it!! Great information!! New subscriber!!
Thanks alot.
@@TheSimpleAquarist very welcome
A better test would be to submerged the pump in a larger volume of water and then let the pump water into a bucket.
Yes agreed , may next time ill do a part 2 video on it.
For 6x2x2 what model eheim fit to?
Can u share the heat produces by both eheim and after market brand?
Well this is very subjective answer. Well definately eheim produces more heat due to higher operating wattage.
@@TheArowana12 Not really it is an easy experiment to do, just measure the temp. before and after. Just get bigger containers.
They are both 1 inch pipes ?
That's the pratical guy there people.... Hands down the best example 🤣🤣 than theory
Thanks mate... Well do we what we have to . hehe
Nice info. Tq
Welcome. Glad its useful.
I vote for SOBO. Cuz I no have $$$$ 😅
Well im using both but dont get me wrong sobo is a good pump. Thanks you for your feedback.

Thats why i went for eheim
