I own a 2260 and 2262, the 2262 since 2007 paid close to $700 Canadian dollars, at the moment its not in operation; i had to sell my tanks for relocation but slowly I'm coming back, so hopefully it will be in operation soon.
I was running on a 180 gallon bare bottom tank with 30 fully grown discus, also on this tank i had a ocean clear.
What i remember its a great filter, but i don't think it worth the extra money for the pump and the quick disconnects, i love also my 2260 to me its the best filter out there.
When I said its not worth the extra money for the pump, you can buy i used 2260 and upgrade the pump, or sell the 1260 pump ang get 1262; or get something else, its what i did with the 2250.
