the box seems to be bang on for head loss... i use a 200 for a waterfall in a tererium and its useless at 2 feet... i use a oddysea 700 for my 20 gallon... works good at 4 feet. i figure around 250gph. cheep pump works great.. i have also seen these pumps used on skimmers and work awsome.. very fine bubbles and the pinwhell comes with the pump.

Maybe I will email Eheim.
