Does anyone know where I can find a comparison between different external pumps. I am mainly interested in power consumption and flow.

Thanks,
Scott

I have been looking, but I really would like a comparison of different pumps like Gen X, GRI, Iwaki, etc to see what has the best characteristics that would suit my needs. I have a Dolphin pump motor that was designed for use by aquaculture facilities but it needs a wet end. I could just use that for running my skimmer and return if I get a new wet end. I think it was rated at 4700 gph but draws 4.3 amps.
