    i think that is not correct ! But i could be wrong!

    But anyhow

    Back onto flow rates


    What most people do not think of , and i very well could be wrong ,but i am 99.9% sure i am right

    Most filters and pumps ,the advertising works off on the 60hz from the USA , and we use 50hz here in Aus.

    So 60/50=1.2
    A 5000 liter/hour pump at 60 hz will pump 5000 lt/hr "pump only"
    But at 50 Hz it will pump 4166.6 liters/hour

    Just some thing to keep in mind

    Depends on the filter most filters are rated for 220/240 50hz first (Ehiems, Fluvals , Rena's) as they are European or Asian.
    And no I don't have a Murray cod ...heavens forbid.

    I got the Rena XP 3 for my 75 gallon last month and as advertised, after 1/2 hour of use it starting leaking from the power cord to the head. I returned it for a Fluval 406, the newest model, and its been working perfectly so far. I think the Fluval is made much better and the support seems great. Do a Google search of the XP 3 and XP 4 leaking and you'll be surprised. I cannot risk another leak when no one is home and it causes a flood.
