I'm not sure where to ask this question but how do I determine the flow rate for each setting? Like if the flow strength is set to 9 (out of 20 max) for the RN-1 and it's gph rating is 396 to 2642, how do I figure out what it is pushing out? I'd assume slightly less than half power, but I've learned that assuming anything in this hobby can lead to problems lol. I'm trying to figure out how much flow we need in our tank and how to set our wave makers for that requirement. We have two RN-1s and 1 QP-16 (which I'd love to eliminate since the controller is on the fritz and it's big and ugly).
