I WAS under the impression running the pumps with more than 12v wouldn't be worth it for the cost, BUT I've just found a 13.8v 3A DC power supply for £15 (I'm in the UK), so that is a very tempting option.

In fact, I'm sold.

I'll do some flow tests at 13.8v soon and let you know.

I got exactly 6 lpm through the Nexxxos with the two AQX @ 12v. That was with the nexxxos only.
Yes, I would be interested in the results. Also, do you have any feel for what the C/W is for your system and what is your configuration? Unlesss you have plenty of room, have you considered a variable dc-dc converter, space wise that could be as small as 2-in x 2-in x 1-in?
