Some of you may have read the article that was released today over at Advanced Aquarist that shows the output flow of propeller pumps and compares them.
Couple things to note is that the EcoTech Vortech rated better that the manufacturer claim and the Tunze Pumps rated lower.
Check it out and let's discuss it here in this thread.
