anybody have any information regarding watt consumption vs GPH on pumps/powerheads out there?
i've noticed my bill rising and it's because i cheaped out on some of my equipment and only looked at price vs gph rather than watts. for example a maxijet 900 outputs 230GPH at 8.5watts, whereas a maxijet 1200 outputs 295GPH at 20watts.
i found a bit of info from this website: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_3/cav3i1/Powerhead_test/powerhead_comp.htm
i'd like to find out a bit more about other pumps like quiet one, lifetech, etc. but can't find any.
