I don't think it's fair to tell a newb that fish will not school without a predator to "scare" them.

My 5 Chalk Bass school.
Not all the time, but frequently and they are only in my 72 with 3 grammas and 2 clown gobies.

No predation there at all.

Good learning...

meaning same amount of water being pushed through a smaller diameter than what pump is rated at will make for less GPH?

Any idea on the percentage loss?
