Is it possible to hook up the Sea Swirl to the Eheim 2028 Canister Filter :?

Anything is possible.... but how much flow comes out of the filter?

EDIT:

Nevermind.... found it.. 277 US gallons/hr. output.

That's about half of the suggested max output for the 1/2" Sea Swirl. If you could find one cheap like what Vinh had i'd say go for it. On the other hand, if you're thinking of buying a brand new one i'd say find something a little cheaper with more flow.

You can get a Reeftec PE-1 (http://reeftec.com/~reeftec/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/scan/st=db/co=yes/sf=category/se=Kits/va=banner_image=/va=banner_text=.html?id=tKQJ9CxZ) kit for $40-55. The pump you have to buy seperately so that's another $50. That's a lot cheaper than a brand new Sea Swirl and it'll push a lot of water. The recommended minimum size is a 4 foot long tank. If you want higher quality for about the same price as the Sea Swirl check out the Tunze Turbelle stream (http://www.tunze.com/usa/en-gb/dept_161.html). I'm planning on getting one of these to add to my tank.

No problem Tina. Mine are setup now so if you'd like to come take a look at the Sea Swirls you're welcome to stop by. I'm about 5 minutes away from you up Tezel and to the left behind Braun Station.
