Here is the math:
400 GPH max pump
Speed 1 = 30%
Speed 20 (max) = 100%

If I’m running at speed 4 what % is that?

I am getting somewhere around 176 gph?

Also I have an AIO 26 gallon tank with an overflow and a small intake at the bottom of the tank about an inch above the sand. It’s 17” from the top of the tank. Will this create head pressure?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
