I just tossed out the 6m/6lpm figure as a point on the P/Q curve of the Iwaki I am considering. This all started when comparing flow vs head loss for blocks and head vs flow for pumps. It just seems with the little pumps I'd end up having to either use them in series for more head to achieve my flow target, or in parallel for multiple loops.

Keep in mind I estimate 20 m of loop, and want some decorative plumbing.
