I hate to say this, but I would suggest you not put GSP in your tank. It's almost like a pest, and it's harder to scrape off than cyano. I regret having put it in my tank. Do a site search and you...

Pump Question

I have yet another pump question. A lot of the external "pressure" pumps say they only pump 400 or 500 gph, but they have a huge max head rating (14 or 15 feet). The submersible pumps have a much...

The Deltec HLP 4040 pump is 1000 gph @ 60 watts = 16.7 watts per gallon. Better than Ocean Runner, but still can't beat Rio.

Please, people, prove me wrong.

Ocean Runner 3500 is 900 gph @ 65 watts = 13.9 gallons per watt, about half as efficient.

What Deltec pump are you referring to? Hit me with a link.
