Someone gave me a Quiet One pump and boy is it quiet! It's rated at
something like 1100GPH and I figure it' pushing close to 7-800 in my
filterless tank, which is only a 75. Can anyone tell me if I can just put a
dimmer switch in its line to slow it down? Will this reduce power
consumption?
It's a great pump but 85 watts and 7-800GPH is just to much.
